A Visit to Lawrence Welk's birthplace in Strasburg, North Dakota with Jeff Borger
Here is my tour of Lawrence Welk's boyhood home in Strasburg, ND. I get to play an old (rather broken down) accordion in his dining room and a guest champagne lady who was also touring the house at the time sings along to the Julida Polka! The Welk Homestead is a great place to visit even if it is quite remote. No wonder Lawrence left the farm!

    Fantastic! The best of the best. Even well into the '60s many of these artists were creating this kind of music and works of art. I don't recall "Hello Detroit" but it's better than "LA Is My Lady" which got more play on the Los Angeles affiliate. No doubt music was more positive and sweeter in those days.

    Thankful for this rebroadcast. Great selection of songs with many old favorites. I listened to a 'Music of Your Life' station in Los Angeles in the late '70s-early '80s. What I miss the most are AM stations based on this music in mono with no need for a computer. We had two stations in the area. There was a transmitting antenna a couple of miles south of us you could see at night. We also had a couple of first class classical stations. Most have switched formats like the FM stations and it's hard to find a station worth listening to. Thankfully a lot has been archived and now available for us and future generations. P.S. I remember those "inventor's kit" ads. Lol.

We still have great talent but can stay home a little more and are now internationally known. The most 'beautiful woman' in the world, seen here, was Yvonne DeCarlo was from B.C. Something wrong with the world that doesn't have songs like 'The Eyes of God' anymore.

    Rest assured it wasn't just seniors who enjoyed WGUL. I enjoyed listening as well. And I found AM 860 when I was fifteen during a during a family trip to St. Petersburg in the summer of 1995. We were beginning to lose our Big Band/standards and beautiful music stations in Ohio by that time. So, it was a real boon to find WGUL proudly serving the Bay area and FM 103.5 WDUV providing instrumentals out of Bradenton, just south of the Bay area. Regrettably, WGUL-AM was sold almost twenty years ago to a religious outfit meaning that the Big Band and standards format is now gone even in the Bay area. And WDUV moved to the Bay area-ironically at FM 105.5, the dial position held by WGUL in this aircheck-and changed its format from beautiful music to something more resembling adult contemporary. The period 2002-05 marked the end of an era for radio along the Suncoast. Thank you for posting these airchecks from a truly great station, WGUL.
