What struck me was that my son will never know such sweet sentiment. I was young then and only a year old when WTOA began so I don't remember it and doubt if we could afford an FM set in 1949! Rock was certainly the music of my generation but I was lucky enough to experience that lovely music through my parents.<br /><br />I still have a hard time believing that Lawrence Welk was not Polish or Austrian with that accent; testament to the isolation of small Nebraska towns of that era.<br /><br />Ed MillerickAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19041693.post-68540151636567495492011-11-15T22:21:39.626-05:002011-11-15T22:21:39.626-05:00I AGREE WITH YOU COMPLETELY, RALPH.

IN ALL THE YEARS THAT I'VE LISTENED TO SHOWS ON RADIO AND TV, I NEVER SAW OR HEARD ANYTHING THAT COULD COMPARE TO A PROGRAM THAT SHOWED THE TALENT DISPLAYED BY SO MANY PEOPLE DURING A SINGLE PROGRAM. YOU OFTEN MENTION YOUR LOVE OF MUSIC IN SCHOOL AND THE PROFESSIONAL SINGERS OF OUR TIME BUT THERE WAS A GROUP WHERE MOST OF THE PERFORMERS EXCELLED AT EVERYTHING. TODAY IS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF WHAT;S WRONG WITH THIS WORLD. THEY DO NOT APPRECIATE WHAT THE OLDER GENERATION REPRESENTED.
