Lawrence Welk, "forced" to watch it, only thing on. Mom had a cousin was one of the singer/ dancers, didn't hurt me one bit. "a one and and a two'a" I think I 'd watch an episode or two just for nostalgia.
Lawrence Welk. The only show my dad wanted to watch all week. Most of the time, we would whine and he would let us watch a Star Trek rerun and make us coffee cake. I wish I had sat on the couch with him and watched it with him. Maybe in heaven. Lawrence Welk is there. Will we be?
Somebody beat me to it but when they did "One Toke Over The Line" on Lawrence Welk I don't think they even knew what it meant. Might have been the funniest thing that ever happened on TV.
The Woolworth's lunch counter brings back good memories for me. To get me out of the house and give her some quiet, Mom would give me a dollar on Saturday after chores. It was enough to catch the bus downtown Denver where I would go through the old used book stores looking for science fiction novels. With saved money I would usually buy an old book or magazine. At lunch I would go to Woolworth's and for 50 cents have a slice of pizza and small coke. Then, ride the bus home. Good times for a 14 year old in the big city. Richard in Colorado
Put it here ... I can't wait to read it. I have the Captcha turned OFF but blogger insists it be there. You should be able to bypass it.
