BEER BARREL POLKA ... LAWRENCE WELK TV SHOW (1981)

[askjeevescosby]

This is what people use to surround them selves with. They strived to be happy even though things were tough. Now we have it easy and we strive to be miserable.

Oh the memories of trying to dance polkas with my grandmother when I was young. She passed when I was only 7, but the memories I cherish 😊

Super Musik! Wer weiß in Deutschland, dass das in Deutschland so populäre Stimmungslied Rosamunde eigentlich ein tschechisches Lied aus dem Jahre 1927 ist? Aus Zbraslav im Süden Prags, um genauer zu sein. Erst 1934 erfolgte die Übertragung ins Deutsche und 1938 wurde das Lied zunächst als reines Akkordeonstück auf Schallplatte von Will Glahé einer der ersten Millionseller in Deutschland überhaupt. Lied um die Welt. Unter dem Titel Beer Barrel Polka brachte Glahé, der inzwischen mit seinem neuen Musette Orchestra in Amerika getourt war, das Lied dort 1939 an die Spitze der Hitparade. Wenige Wochen darauf folgte die heute ungleich bekanntere Fassung der Andrews Sisters. Und im gleichen Jahr präsentierte es Chico Marx im Film The Marx Brothers at the Circus. Seither ist das Lied aus keiner fröhlichen Party und keinem großen Bierfest mehr wegzudenken. Die Menge der aufgenommenen Fassungen (darunter recht ungewöhnliche) ist unaufzählbar.

Growing up in the sixties I had my Saturday night bath then I came downstairs to watch the Lawrence welk show as my mother set my hair in pipe curls!
Just simple relaxing happy music to program the mind before sleeping!
Healing and blessings to all this year of 2023 and beyond!

I lived in the Black Forest in Germany 50 years ago and what good music it was, good job I remember Lawrence Welk

I saw Lawrence Welk live when the band played a show in Birmingham in the 1970s. We took my grandmother to see him. I had such a crush on Joey, the young blonde accordion player!

We used to dance around the living room every week to Lawrence Welk's music! Memories!

I kid met Mr Welk and his band at the Allentown Fair like 6 decades ago.
Boy Mr Welk was so nice as well as Myron.
This was one of the 1st pieces I learned to play on the Hammond Organ (C3), and anytime folks were over, I had like 60 mins of playing as long as I could read the music it got played.
Never got the gift of playing by ear.
Oh such fun memories
Thanks so much for bringing back the Welk show on You Tube.

Always had to watch Lawrence Welk on Saturday nights since we only had one TV back in the 60's. I miss the good old Polka bands ❤

My parents used to watch Lawrence Welk weekly when I was a kid.

Моя мама играла на аккордеоне это произведение. У нее был немецкий, как помню из детства 1/4. Очень любили мы дети слушать.Это было начало 60 х годов.

Браво! Смотреть и слушать приятно! Муж учился ! Играл! И очень любил аккордион! Оставил два инструмента и мы подарили детям! Вы напомнили те былые времена когда муж исполнял различные произведения а я с удовольствием слушала! Спасибо!
