Welk was one of many Americans who wanted us to stay out of a European war and publically campaigned for that policy. Probably just someone over-generalizing saying "German = Anti-Semitic" I saw no evidence of anti-Semitism.ĭoes anyone know how many Jewish performers he had on his show? if the answer is zero, that might be evidence. I've heard over the years that Lawrence Welk was anti-Semitic, but I have never seen any evidence. Also people have to remember that this show is old when people listened to different types of music than they do today. What was the name of that redhead? I always had the hots for her! :)Ĭorny? I don't think his music is corny it was diverse there were several genres played and sang on that show. While I think the music is a little corny I enjoyed it. He was a decent man and was enormously popular back in those days. It was a German accent, since he grew up in a German-speaking community in the Mid-West. He was totally understandable, but his accent was not slight. To characterize his accent as "slight" is unjustified understatement. Is it too old fashioned to talk about lawrence welk? :) i thought his music, his show was spectacular and my friends think its too corny!!!
