Lawrence Welk(1903-1992)

In the early 1990s the U.S. Congress refused federal funding to restore Welk's boyhood home in Strasburg, ND, as a museum. His many still loyal fans, hearing of this, donated the money themselves, and to this day the Welk Home and Museum has been restored and maintained entirely by private funds.

We cater to the people who want a melody as it was originally written. Our audiences want songs that tell a story. We don't want any song with questionable moral standards.
