3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected but..., March 4, 2007

By 

Jamberlee1230 "Nostalgic tv junkie" (Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: A Lawrence Welk Family Christmas (DVD)

I can't say it was anyone's fault in particular but let me keep others from making my mistake. At the time I bought this dvd from Amazon I do not believe it said anything about being a "reunion concert."

This is a 1995 reunion dvd rather than the actual Christmas show from yester-year. If you like that sort of thing that's cool, but for myself I purchased the dvd for more of a time period nostalgic purpose and was pretty disappointed.

For those who would like a better description, the back of the dvd says:

"In the 40 year holiday tradition of the Lawrence Welk Television Show, the musical family of stars gather at the Champagne Theatre in Branson, Missouri, for an all new Christmas Reunion Concert."

Appearances by:
Norma Zimmer (Host)
Fern Welk (Lawrence's wife)
The Lennon Sisters- Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas
Jo Ann Castle- The Skater's Watz
Jack Imel- Winter Wonderland
Mary Lou Metzger & Ken Delo- White Christmas
Tom Netherton- The Most Wonderful Time of the Year
Bobby Burgess & Elaine Balden- Christmas Waltz & Jingle Bell Rock
Guy Hovis- Some Children See Him
Anacani- It Came Upon A Midnight Clear
Joe Feeney- O Holy Night & How Great Thou Art

The show was really boring to me but I couldn't drive myself to give it 1 star because I believe that fans of the show that grew up with the show would probably really enjoy it. I did give it a 3 because I felt it could have been described better than what it was at the time I bought it.

This was purchased for my 90 year old mother in law who has severe dementia. Hearing the music and watching the show that she always loved gave her immense joy as she sang along.
