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.

The artists united in this album for the first time are familiar to everyone who enjoys hearing good music well played. Brilliant young organist Bob Ralston has been featured on the Lawrence Welk television show for over three years. The orchestra known as the Living Strings is a particular favorite among those who like their music romantic, melodic, or just plain pretty. Arranger-conductor Johnny Doubles is also admired for his skills among music lovers who enjoy the re-creation of a melody in all its inherent beauty. His pen here transforms each tune into a sparkling and complementary vehicle for the Living Strings and Bob Ralston without losing sight of the composer's original intention for melody, harmony, rhythm.
Musical material in TWILIGHT TIME ranges across many styles and moods. Each selection, from Debussy's Clair de Lune to the torchant Guess I'll Hang My Tears Out to Dry, was chosen to showcase a particular mood from the many made possible through this delightful instrumental pairing of orchestra and organist. There's the cheeriness and plain "fun" of Twilight Time and Cruising Down the River. There's the depth of feeling portrayed by Moonlight Sonata and Reverie...the bright loveliness of Vanessa...the tranquility of Land of Dreams. Not to be overlook is the new styling of the well-remembered hit combination of "Moonglow" and "Theme from Picnic." Show buffs are sure to appreciate the inclusion of the title tune from the new Broadway musical triumph, On a Clear Day (You Can See Forever.)
There are many musical moods included here for your enjoyment and given new charm by the Living Strings, arranger-conductor Johnny Douglas, and organist Bob Ralston - a happy blinding of talent for a happy blending of sounds.
