So until next time, keep a song in your heart and don't forget to speak softly and carry a big shillelagh!

Lawrence Welk's European Vacation

Let's go on a trip to Europe, from the comforts of your own computer!

First we go to Ireland, Clay Hart sings "Danny Boy"....

Then it's off to Spain where we join Anacani.....

Now it's off to France, where Ken Delo plays traffic cop.....

We now visit Merry 'Ol England, home of all the King's Horses and the King's Men.....

....and finally Germany, just in time for Octoberfest!

Hope you enjoyed the trip! My apologies for any jet lag one may suffer from.
