Mo RoccaGUEST
So I have come up with this idea to create menus for funeral brunches for people that I believe deserve lavish funeral brunches.
Mo RoccaGUEST
And so I wanted to, um, lay out this concept with you for Lawrence Welk.
Mo RoccaGUEST
You remember Lawrence Welk, right?
Christopher KimballHOST
Yes, yes.
Mo RoccaGUEST
A great American accordionist, a band leader, and the host of the hugely popular Lawrence Welk Show.
Mo RoccaGUEST
It ran from 1951 to 1982.
Mo RoccaGUEST
I mean, anyone who was alive during those years and had a grandparent knew the show.
Mo RoccaGUEST
And, and, and if Happy Harry's is out of it, Maple River Winery over in Castleton also specializes in it.

Robert CochranGUEST
I grew up in that culture.
Robert CochranGUEST
His favorite musician was Lawrence Welk.
Robert CochranGUEST
Well, for me, his brother told me this, and I was absolutely flabbergasted.
Robert CochranGUEST
because I thought that Lawrence Welch for me was the epitome of uncool when I was buying my first records.
JasonHOST
remember watching Hee Haw
EricHOST
you remember Hee Haw and for those of you who don't know Hee Haw is a very country program that came on on like Saturday evenings you had like Lawrence Welk and then you would have Hee Haw And so that's where I got introduced to a lot of country music back then myself and Dolly Parton being one of them.
EricHOST
But it's funny.
EricHOST
I don't remember her singing that song until – and then Whitney Houston.
LionelHOST
I don't know a lot about, about madrigal singing either.
LionelHOST
But, but that stage, that makes Pink Floyd or the Wall look like, like Lawrence Welk.
LionelHOST
Ask your parents.
LionelHOST
Th- th- I mean, wow.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
They got smart and went syndicated.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
Lawrence Welk did the same thing.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
ABC canceled them.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
And he was like, no, I think there's still an audience.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
Please.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
So in the 50s, you've got Perry Como, Dinah Shore, Arthur Godfrey, Red Skelton, Jackie Gleason, Steve Allen, George Goebel, Jimmy Durante.
Kevin UndergaroHOST
Danny Kaye and Lawrence Welk, who we mentioned before.
Anne SleemanHOST
Wow.
Jolene RoxburyHOST
That is uncalled for and unnecessary.
Jolene RoxburyHOST
Just because it's a polka does not mean it's worthy of the Lawrence Welk Show.
speaker_7NARRATOR
Yes, it does.
speaker_7NARRATOR
That's exactly what it sounds like.
speaker_7NARRATOR
Have you been watching reruns of the Lawrence Welk Show? It's still on PBS.
speaker_7NARRATOR
He might even have his own channel on Roku.
speaker_7NARRATOR
I'm not sure.
Jolene RoxburyHOST
And she would turn it.
