EVERYBODY likes the scintillating rhythms of Lawrence Welk and His Champagne Music. And whether it's music for dancing or just easy listening, that sparkling beat is as contagious as the smile of the Maestro himself.

Seen and heard by millions from coast to coast every Saturday night, Welk's orchestra is as popular with the older folks as it is with the teenagers. His music packs them in by the thousands from hundreds of miles around at Ocean Park, California's famous Aragon Ball Room where the band has been playing since 1951. Some people even come to the dances in wheelchairs, and as one of them exclaimed, "It's just what the doctor ordered!"

A recent issue of TV Guide Magazine says that Welk's music appeals to the most important member of the family - Mother. And that when Mom is happy the whole family is happy. We might go a step further and say that it's music Mother likes best.

The Lawrence Welk story is not one of an overnight success. Although he has been a name band leader since 1938, the sparkle has come about somewhat gradually. Young Lawrence, the second to the youngest in a family of eight children, grew up on a small farm near Strasburg, North Dakota. His parents had settled there after fleeing Alscace-Lorraine in 1878, when the Prussians invaded France. At a very early age he bagan to pick out tunes by ear on the family parlor organ, a predecessor of the modern electric organ he now features regularly as an intregral part of his orchestra. While still a youngest, Welk also learned to play an old push button accordion well enough to earn money playing for local parties and dances. The accordion, of course, has since before the world famous Welk trademark.

Today, Lawrence Welk and His Champage Music is probably the hottest dance band property in the record business. His records sell to the point that, with each new release, the number of advance pressings must be stepped up to meet the ever increasing demand. Here's a band leader who knows what hte public wants.



"The Lawrence Welk Show" is telecast weekly, sponsored by the DODGE dealers of America.
