It's a collection of pictures from the show and behind the scenes, taking you on a journey beginning with the original two-piece band and continuing through the years to the 'family' of fifty singers, dancers, and musicians. Portraits and candid shots are complemented with anecdotes and captions. The emphasis is on the homespun and heartwarming qualities that Lawrence Welk was known for.
