Strike Up The Band (Myron Floren)
the lawrence welk show

Master accordionist, Myron Floren, hosts this week's salute to the world's musicians and the dozens of instruments they play. Vocal numbers include "Hey Mr. Banjo" with Tanya, the girls, and Neil Levang, "I Love A Piano" with Gail Farrell, and Jack and Mary Lou bring a bit of comedy to "Piccolo Pete". The band shines on "The Bells of St. Mary's", "Trumpeter's Lullaby", and the show's theme "Strike Up the Band". The Polka Festival at the Welk Resort in Branson is the perfect backdrop for Myron's host segments as he entertains hundreds of polka band members from all across the United States.
