This blog was created so I could showcase my vast collection of Lawrence Welk albums. From vinyl to cassette to cd, I want to show everyone what hard work and determination can yield when searching for out of print material! This blog is meant solely to showcase my collection, and to preserve the images and information on the album covers themselves. Music downloads will not be offered here.

Almost gone are the player pianos...but not the piano players. Not by a long shot. Not while there's a big fellow around with a paradoxical name, a derby hat, a vest that would stand out during a 4th of July finale, and more rhythm in his ten flying fingers than in many an entire orchestra.
He's "Big" Tiny Little, and he plays what some call rickey-tick, others barrelhouse, backroom, or honky tonk. We call it the greatest thing that ever happened to a piano.
In this album Tiny shares the stage with a chorus directed by Charles Bud Dant, and we suspect Tiny and the gang had almost as much fun recording this collection as you're going to have listening to it.
There's Tiny's own Waikiki; Hoagy Carmichael's Lazy River; Irving Berlin's Maria; Music, Music, Music, reminiscent of the days when something was still a nickel; the indispensable, delightful Heart Of My heart; and many many others.
Tiny's piano, the wonderful chorus, and teh familiar old songs will undoubtedly tug at a few memories-but most of all, you'll be entertained as you've never been before. Tiny Little's Singing Honky Tonk is a listening treat you'll not soon forget.
