Ann Althouse just made my day.
With this.
Lawrence Welk is pretty old school for us twenty-somethings, but on a visit to the Missus' grandparents, I discovered it- as both her grandparents were pretty big fans of the show- it was their Saturday night tradition, I guess. It was an interesting bit of Americana that I hadn't experienced- ever. The colors, the music, the general old school harmonies- it all hearkened back to an earlier time in America.
Plus, I love how 'One Toke Over The Line' has somehow, in Welk's view, become 'a modern spiritual.' So, if it's a modern spiritual, can it be used for funerals/bar mitzvahs/weddings, etc? If so, I know what they're going to be wheeling me out of the church too!
