Talk:The Lawrence Welk Show

message: The part stating where it was filmed is incorrect, I believe.  The Lawrence Welk Show was *not* primarily taped at the Hollywood Palace, but at ABC Television Center West (Prospect Studios).  There were only a few years that it was taped at the Palace and then in the end at CBS Television City.  Can anyone else confirm this?  Wikibiz (talk) 11:43, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Does anyone else feel that the personnel should be removed from the two  existing lists and combined into one list that is alphabetized preferably by the last name.  Compilation of the present two lists seems arbitrary  and confusing -- The two ragtime piano players are in separate lists, for example.1archie99 (talk) 03:59, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Personnel Listing

message: I've added a refimprove banner to the article. It's well-written and informative, but lacks sufficient references. Considering how popular this show was (and still is), it shouldn't be too hard to find more information for this article. I did a quick search for books about (and by) Lawrence Welk on Amazon.com. I found at least three books about the show itself:
Lawrence Welk -- An American Institution by William K. Schweinher (), 1980
Champagne Music: The Lawrence Welk Show by Coyne Stevens and Ginny Weissman (), 1987
The Lawrence Welk Show: Then and Now by Laura Segall (), 1995
In addition, Mr. Welk wrote several books about his life (including an autobiography), which should provide good material for this article and his own article as well. Oldiesmann (talk) 01:19, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

message: I'm kind of curious as to whether blacks ever appeared on the show in any role other than as solo tap dancers? -- AnonMoos (talk) 14:39, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The Mills Brothers added a lot to one of the shows, I believe it was b&w and the performance was on youtube. I believe there were other prominent black perormers appearing as guests. I can't recall any more than one regular who was black.1archie99 (talk) 13:32, 30 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The correct spelling of the drummer named above is Paul Humphrey. He can be seen with Jack Imel, both playing drum front stage in the last song, "The St. Louis Blues March" on the 12-13-80 show. It would be interesting to know who the sax player was.1archie99 (talk) 15:46, 25 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Black performers?

message: Welk continued to film new host segments until his passing, after which select members of the "musical family" took over as hosts. What?? I've never heard about this. As far as I know Welk retired in 1982 but did an occasional interview, right? He wasn't making new episodes for PBS in, say, 1987. --98.232.184.142 (talk) 01:27, 29 August 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: They were previously shown hour long shows repackaged with Welk talking about the show spliced into them; similar to the programs being repackaged after his death. I remember watching them and recall that they ran a very short time. Does anyone recall how many, the date they were telecast and as to whether they are run today as this says?1archie99 (talk) 17:21, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: 1980s segments??

message: It would be nice to have information on the production of the show - how the audio, lighting, costuming, rehearsals, etc. were done. While not my favorite music, I've always had great respect for the musicianship of the band members and the talented singers and dancers - especially when they did the show live in front of an audience. Maybe that is more detail than allowed for the article, but I think it would be interesting to include that information for a more complete look at the show itself.

message: Why is Welk so popular with old people? Personally I find his show disgusting.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 47.138.95.24 (talk) 05:49, 17 January 2022 (UTC)
