Lawrence Welk--"Wunerful, wunerful." Scandihoovian bandleader from some uppermidwest U.S. state. Probably broke records for the number of programs recorded, or the amount of soap that was channeled through the set bubble machine. My mother used to watch him, and I watched with her when I was little. The charm soon wore off and I headed to my room to read when he came on.
