Thanks for posting this episode. It is special to see one of the shows in black and white. I really liked how they featured many of the performers with their own special segments..

Just gotta tell ya, friends, you REALLY know how to make this old man's Saturdays special with these classic Welk Shows!!! Just 11 years old, back then in 1965, and full of energy.........wish I had that skinny energy now!!! ;o)

I am sure as an 11 yr old, my family was watching this show, in Rockford Illinois.

[@n.elliottnoorlun8304]

An extra joy for me is that this truly is a NEW show!!! Thought I'd seen them all, but here's one I missed ;o)

That was a very good show.I usually don't like to watch the black and white episodes.I liked The Lennon Sister's singing with their siblings and their sister Annie singing.I also liked the old pictures and the old clips.
