MYRON SINGS!

Time for more Christmas cheer as Myron Floren sings and plays "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town" with the Lennon Sisters on the December 24, 1956 ABC Network telecast of Lawrence Welk's Top Tunes and New Talent.

Time For Jerry, Larry, and Tiny

In this clip from a 1957 ABC Network telecast of Lawrence Welk's Top Tunes and New Talent, here are Jerry Burke, Larry Hooper, and Big Tiny Little on triplet pianos, performing "The One I Love Belongs To Someone Else."  This was Lawrence's Monday night ABC show that was sponsored by the Dodge and Plymouth divisions of Chrysler Corporation.

Big Tiny Little, R. I. P.

Dudley "Big Tiny" Little, the ragtime pianist who was seen for four years (1955-59) on various Lawrence Welk ABC telecasts before going out on his own, having a tremendously successful career in the process, passed away last Wednesday (March 3) at Carson City, Nevada at age 79.

Here's a clip of Tiny in action, performing "Marianne" on the December 30, 1957 ABC telecast of Lawrence Welk's Top Tunes and New Talent.



Tiny will sorely be missed.
