Champagne Book Of The Month Club: Wunnerful, Wunnerful! The Autobiography of Lawrence Welk
Like Oprah, we at Welk Musical Family will have our own Book of the Month Club and what better way to get this started than with the Maestro's own autobiography!
First published in 1971, it marked the collaboration of the Maestro with Bernice McGeehan.
Basically, Lawrence talks about his life up to that point....his beginnings as a child of German immigrants growing up in North Dakota, his early days as a musician performing with George T. Kelly's band, forming his own band (The Hotsy Totsy Boys, Honolulu Fruit Gum Orchestra), his courtship and marriage to Fern and the growth of his own family as well as his Musical Family.
The book also is a perfect reflection of the American Dream, and how he got rich and famous while always staying true to his roots, never losing faith in people and his religion. He also set the record straight on some of the more controversial moments from the show, such as the departures of Alice Lon and the Lennon Sisters.
When the book was first published 39 years ago, it was a perfect storm of circumstances....ABC just canceled his show and it was making the transition to syndication, which made plenty of press. Also, that was the year the Musical Family played Madison Square Garden in New York to a standing room only sellout crowd.
All that resulted in being a New York Times bestseller, with many more books by Welk-McGeehan to follow.
But this one is special, if you find in your local library or vintage bookstore, pick up a copy and read....you won't be disappointed.

The Lennon Sisters on the Today Show
Monday, September 27, 2010
The Lennon Sisters in the magical, fantasy land of televised home shopping
Kathy & Janet Lennon appeared on the QVC network early Saturday morning around 3am selling their line of Best Pals dolls and accessories.
I must say, even in the wee hours of the morning when the roosters were comatose....the girls looked and sounded great!
Also this morning, Kathy and Janet will be appearing on the fourth hour of NBC's The Today Show, or better known as Kathie Lee and Hoda's Happy Hour

I think this mass transit thingy is catching on....
From this week's episode "Big City USA", the Music Makers are doing their part to reduce our country's dependency on oil.
They are taking the trolley.....like Kathie Sullivan
....and Mary Lou Metzger along with Jack Imel find mass transit quite friendly and pleasant.
....not to mention very musical.
