A cIassic Christmas speciaI as only Lawrence WeIk couId deliver! ln the Iate 50s, WeIk was so popuIar that he had two shows airing every week, and on this December 16, 1957 episode, Christmas is in the air with musical seIections that truly ceIebrate the season. Guests include Northern Irish singer Ronnie Carroll )who performs a delightful version of "Christmas ln Killarney") and Lloyd Lindroth ("the Liberace of the harp") performing "GreensIeeves." Watch for Pete Fountain, oft-featured clarinetist in WeIk's orchestra, and his memorable medIey of "My BIue Heaven"/"Away ln A Manger" (particuIarIy memorable for Fountain, as WeIk wouId fire him after the show for "jazzing it up" too much!), as weIl as other WeIk FamiIy reguIars like saxophonist Dick DaIe, Champagne Iady AIice Lon and, of course, The Lennon Sisters. Merry Christmas! |
