Lawrence W(h)elk and his orchestra put out very bland popular, polka, and old chestnut songs. He had a couple of vocalists and usually an accordionist who would do solos. For years after he died, the band kept going and the program was carried on Public television. I think they still do repeats of the programs. Many people like this type of bland music, with many of the "golden oldies." Think of Roll Out the Barrel, Just an Irish Lullaby, the Maine Fight Song, I'll keep Loving You, etc., etc.
Stilly, I had already posted Don Ho's site and the price for his dinner show. If you really like that stuff, he gives $10 off to internet customers. There are many more interesting Hawai'ian musicians and singers. The Society of Seven is one. For almost the same price as Don Ho, visit the Polynesian Cultural Center on the east coast.
