Lawrence Welk (RE: country radio)

[Jim_Caligiuri]

 half the time I either laugh out loud at the cliches or think, "cripes it
 sounds like lawrence welk!!".

Lots of people have been doing that for as long as I've been listening to
country music.

On a totally different tangent, I have been listening to the upcoming Spade
Cooley record that Bloodshot is releasing soon and my first reaction was
"This sounds like Lawrence Welk!" Maybe not as cheesy but the accordion and
the western swing arrangements have that "champagne" sound. I must be
getting old, though, I kinda liked it. g
Jim, smilin'

Welcome to Club Geezer, Jim.  Cooley and Welk were essentially direct
competitors in Southern California in the early-mid 50s.  That's a bit after
the period covered by the Bloodshot transcriptions comp, but even so...
