[edit] Editing Suggestions

Since there are two "Aragon Ballrooms", the first mention should be to unambiguously clarify the different roles that each had.

[edit] Opinions

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!!!

I kind of liked him too. To characterize his accent as "slight" is unjustified understatement. He was totally understandable, but his accent was not slight. It was a German accent, since he grew up in a German-speaking community in the Mid-West.

Lawrence Welk is da bomb.

The square comment is a little rough. He was a decent man and was enormously popular back in those days.

[edit] Anti-Semitic?

I've heard over the years that Lawrence Welk was anti-Semitic, but I have never seen any evidence. Any ideas?
