That never occured to me either, but you make a good case, all the signs are there. Not that I ever enjoyed any of the "combustable refreshments" during my college years, ahem.Īs a matter of fact.I'm smirking right now!. It had never even occured to me to watch that show, but now the thought of it fascinates me. Lawrence himself seems like a pretty straight-laced bandleader, so those guy’s Visine and breath mint bills must have cost more than the dope did back in those days (as I’m told too, ahem).
I doubt if anyone could have handled actually tripping on the Lawrence Welk bandstand, what with the costumes and all that happy, happy smiling (LSD is hard on the sightreading too, or so I’m told, ahem), but there was definitely some toking going on. I know that smirk, I used to smirk that smirk myself. I mean, it was being filmed in Southern California in the late 60’s and early 70’s and some of the boys in the band have definitely got that secret reefer smirk.
It’s mostly good clean fun – the bouffant hairdos, the Baptist-style swaying back and forth – but oh, those musicians. Topic: Lawrence Welk band – high as kites?Īt 1 pm on Sundays my TV starts spitting out some red-blooded American pro football games, but the past few years I’ve also been cultivating a dirty little addiction to “The Lawrence Welk Show” reruns over on PBS.
