Lennonpalooza 2010 - The first 55 years of singing excellence

They all came, related by blood and musical talent....


They are the Lennon Family, at least the ones that make Branson their home.

And they all came, joined by Welknotes and the Lennon Sisters Fan Club for Lennonpalooza 2010 at the Stage Door Canteen at the Welk Resort.




On this autumn Sunday afternoon in the Ozarks, the Lennon Sisters of Kathy, Janet, Mimi, Dee Dee and Peggy joined via the Skype webcam from her home in California were honored by family, friends and fans alike for 55 years of singing and being famous.


There was singing, trivia, fans asking questions, memories, love and a musical guessing game of Stump The Lennons. It was fun for all, with a nice brunch to keep everyone's stomachs happy.

And there was cake too!


I had a great day today, capped off in the evening by a terrific dinner at Mickey Gilley's Texas Cafe, you oughta try their Chicken Fried Steak and the best Chili Con Queso and chips around!

Tomorrow, I began my long journey home where I begin the work on putting the vacation pictures on my webpage.

It was a wunnerful, wunnerful vacation, Branson is truly Heaven on earth.

An Average Day in Andy Williams World where red sweaters never go out of style

The title of this post best sums up my first full day in Branson, with some Champagne thrown in....

So here are the highlights in a nutshell.


Today was Welknotes 10th Anniversary Luncheon at Andy Williams Moon River Grille, where I got to meet my friends from Welknotes.....

....such as my friend Art Oliver with the lovely and talented Ralna English


After that, it was back to the resort for a quick swim and relaxing in the hot tub at Splash-O-Rama and then back to the Andy Williams compound, this time at the Moon River Theatre where the icon himself did his Christmas Show like the ones you used to see on television.

From what I saw tonight, he still has it.

Then it was back to the Moon River Grille for dinner and a nightcap, and musical entertainment by Gail Lennon and the Lennon Brothers.


Now it's time for bed, and more Branson adventures to follow!

Weekend at the Lennons

I told you yesterday that November is going to be a busy month for me...

So while everyone has election day fever, let's take a break from it so I can share some exciting news.

It's official, I will be in Branson from November 11 to the 15th for a family reunion.

A Lennon Family Reunion


No, I did not discover on ancestry.com that I am a long lost cousin...but on Sunday, the Welk Resort in Branson as scheduled is supposed to have the largest gathering of America's Favorite Musical Family with us fans invited!

On Friday, as a member of Welknotes, I'll be taking part in their 10th anniversary celebrations as well. It will be a great chance to meet the friends I made from the eight years being a member of this fine Yahoo! Group.

And on Saturday, will be seeing Kathy, Janet, Mimi and the legendary Tony Orlando on stage for their Christmas show!


And with all this going on, I'll be blogging and taking pictures for all to enjoy.

Hope to see you there!

The Welk 500

Back in the spring of 1965, a television milestone was established over at ABC,

The Lawrence Welk Show aired it's 500th show that Saturday night!

Here are a few highlights from that milestone and memory,

The Maestro opens the show with his trusty accordian....

Here's the entire Lennon family together for a hootnanny!

Joe Livoti demonstrating his skills as a violin concertmaster....

And Larry Hooper swinging into high with Lawrence watching with glee.

By next season, the show would make the move to color.....and many many more milestones and memories would made!
