<< As seen on PBS >>Nobody knew how to celebrate a special day better than Lawrence Welk. Every television season was rich with salutes to the many holidays that fill the calendar. Lawrence Welk's Favorite Holidays takes you through the year, and through the years, looking back at the very best of the fun-filled television programs marking the special days celebrated by American families. Longtime Welk stars NORMA ZIMMER, JANET LENNON, JO ANN CASTLE, MARY LOU METZGER, BOBBY BURGESS, and KEN DELO host this new special, recalling favorite holiday memories and personal stories. This 80-minute program includes rare performances such as JO ANN CASTLE and MYRON FLOREN playing "Lover" on twin accordions for Valentine's Day; and "The Anniversary Song" sung by the LENNON SISTERS with their father in 1960 celebrating Father's Day. KEN DELO sings "Sunrise Sunset," videotaped during a live performance at the Champagne Theatre in Branson and for Mother's Day, JO ANN CASTLE remembers her daughter, Deana, and dedicates "Lara's Theme" to her memory. This special features new performances on a beautifully decorated, home-like set, specially designed for this program. Also included are upbeat patriotic medleys celebrating the 4th of July and Veterans Day, a hilarious look at some over-the-top Halloween numbers, and a special tribute to one of the Musical Family's legendary talents, LARRY HOOPER, who sings "Oh Happy Day," "Minnie the Mermaid," "Ain't She Sweet," and other favorites. Champaign lady NORMA ZIMMER sings "The Lord's Prayer" to celebrate Easter and "Bless This House," the traditional Thanksgiving Hymn. The program begins and ends with New Year's celebrations from "There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays" which gets things going, to "Auld Lang Syne," as the cast enjoys a New Year's Eve party complete with champagne, balloons, noisemakers, and the big band sound of the great Lawrence Welk Orchestra.

This review is from: Lawrence Welk's Songs of Faith (VHS Tape)

I saw this on PBS when it first aired in the late 90's, and consider it far better than the later Precious Memories special. The show features hosts Norma Zimmer, Mary Lou Metzger, Ralna English, Guy Hovis, Bob Ralston, and Tom Netherton both performing and introducing various Christian and inspirational songs. The majority of the performances are clips from various Lawrence Welk shows taken from its nearly thirty year run on television, but all the hosts perform live during the broadcast. This is an excellent show and well worth the money; my only gripe is that it isn't available on DVD.

We are so excited to have a replacement to our beloved Lawrence Welk's Songs of Faith.. We play it almost every day and it helps us to stay in a joy filled mood. The whole family enjoys these beautiful songs and the beautiful staging of each number makes it wonderful.
The lady I care for is 96 her son is 62 and they both enjoy these time loved favorites.
I feel really grateful too for the price and for how quickly it arrived.
