Lawrence Welk's Champagne Music Makers Personal Data Guide

From the treasure chest of Welk collectibles comes one of the most popular items ever produced.

Ever wanted to know more about your favorite members of the Musical Family? Well in 1970 came Lawrence Welk's Champagne Music Makers Personal Data Guide.

Or as we like to call it, Welk's Fun Facts Slide


You can move the slide to any of your favorite Music Maker's name and read personal facts about them.

For instance, silde to Bob Ralston's name and you discover that his hobbies include motor cycling. Or slide over to Ralna English and learn that her favorite color is yellow.


Ever wanted to know what Dick Dale's favorite food is? It happens to be Beef Stroganoff. And Mary Lou Metzger's favorite type of music is musical comedy.

All this is possible with the fun facts slide, but it makes you wonder that if some of the facts are still accurate after forty years.

Still, it's a fun collectible regardless!

Just got the Spanish CD-issue of Alice Lon's only solo recording (her 1959 Coral album "It's Alice")...now if only someone would reissue Lawrence Welk's 1959 LP "Featuring Alice Lon", I'd be doubly pleased. She was a great singer and Champagne Lady. :)
