#MyronFloren (1919 – 2005) was an American musician best known as the accordionist on The #LawrenceWelk Show between 1950 and 1980. Floren came to prominence primarily from his regular appearances on the weekly television series in which Lawrence Welk dubbed him as #TheHappyNorwegian.
I was fanatical. I watched every #LawrenceWelkShow as a kid, just to hear Myron (and #Anacani 💌 ). I'm probably the ONLY kid that ever asked to play the #Accordion.

"Goodnight, sleep tight, and pleasant dreams to you
Here's a wish and a prayer that every dream comes true
And now 'til we meet again
Adios, Au Revoir, Auf Wiedersehn
GOOD NIGHT!" #CatsOfMastodon #LawrenceWelk
Lawrence Welk & His Champagne Music - 1939
Remarkable 10 minute film of the #LawrenceWelk band early in their career. Back when they were basically a touring sweet #jazz band
He never recorded a #polka until they became a fad in the 1940s, so just #BigBand pop songs here. Wonderful singing from Lois Best
This was a “short subject“ played between feature films as part of a longer program including cartoons and news reels
