<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">That's according to Bobby Burgess, in regards to how a certain baseball team steered him on to his path to stardom.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">How you say? We'll just leave it at that, you can find out more from Bobby's new autobiography, <i>Ears & Bubbles: Dancing My Way from The Mickey Mouse Club to The Lawrence Welk Show.</i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Published by Theme Park Press, <i>Ears & Bubbles </i>is the journey that is the life of dancing and pop culture icon Bobby Burgess from his childhood growing up in Long Beach to his days as a Mouseketeer, as a member of Lawrence Welk's Musical Family for twenty-one seasons and beyond.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It's quite a revealing, in-depth look at Bobby, but not in a scandalous, TMZ tabloid sense. Instead, for longtime Mickey Mouse Club and Lawrence Welk fans, Bobby gives the reader plenty of delightful and interesting stories that will leave one saying, "COOL!"</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The book reveals the behind-the-scenes activity from both the MMC and Welk programs as well as the adventures and misadventures from touring on the road as well as Bobby's long lasting relationships and friendships with his fellow Mouseketeers and Welk stars.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And you'll also get to meet his family, and how his love of dancing has become a family business.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And all because the Angels done him in.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I recommend this book with enthusiasm, it is a delightful trip down the pop culture nostalgia lane and a good read too.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><i>Ears & Bubbles </i>is available from Amazon.com, both in print and in Kindle format, or you can get it or order it from your local bookstore.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You can also go online to <a href="http://themeparkpress.com/">THEME PARK PRESS.COM</a> if you want more information about <i>Ears & Bubbles </i>or inquire about any other titles they have published as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">From the very beginning on July 2, 1955 as a director until its conclusion in 1982, Jim was part of the Welk Show with his impeccable behind the scenes production that gave the program that added sparkle of champagne.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Rest In Peace Jim. Here's a reprint of his obituary (edited to remove dated references) from the Los Angeles Times.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">James Hobson was born on December 30, 1922 in Chicago, Illinois to John Surtees Hobson Sr. and Mary Ellen Jones. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;">James attended public school and later St. John's Military Academy and Purdue University.</span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> Drafted into the army in 1943. He was assigned to the 397th Field Artillery in France, Italy and Germany and was awarded the Bronze Star</span><span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"> for stopping an artillery barrage. He also attended Signal Corps Motion Picture School in London and was discharged in 1946.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In that same year, he attended the Pasadena Playhouse where he met Elsie Holmes, a talented and successful actress in stage and movies from Yazoo City, Mississippi. They married in 1950. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">James began his career as a cameraman for Channel 13, KLAC TV in 1949. He made the transition to producer director in 1952 with "The Liberace Show". He became director of "The Lawrence Welk Show" in 1955 and in 1962 became the producer/director of the Welk show until his retirement in 1986. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">After Elsie Hobson died in 2001, James met actress, singer and writer Ashley Aarons. In 2005, they founded " Coffee Dog Productions" and he produced a catalogue of songs and a musical in pre-production entitled, "Dance Myself Free". His hobbies included building a "Rogallo Wing Hang Glider", sailing and collecting model airplane engines. </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: black; color: white; line-height: 18px; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">James Hobson died in his wife's arms in Santa Monica on April 26, 2013.

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">For years, Welk fans clamored for a webpage that provided lots of pictures, fun facts and other stuff that was all things Lawrence Welk and his Musical Family.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So on that very day, a humble, little Yahoo Geocities page was launched, featuring nothing more than a few scanned pictures, some facts and plenty of hope and optimism.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Ten years later, Welk Musical Family.com has grown into a colossus, which included this blog, Welkgirls.com, a Twitter account and a successful Facebook page.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">And all the while, the original webpage has become THE source for Welk fans to get their online Champagne Music fix.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">In honor of this occasion, I made this 10th anniversary collage of the Maestro and the cast of hundreds that made up his Musical Family over the years, see if you can find anyone of your favorites!</span><br />
