Look for this Lawrence Welk Episode - General Tiki

(I'm hoping for Hawaiiian War Chant) and also, what tunes will the permanently smiling Bobby and Cissy dance to. Polynesian Pop doesn't get better then this, when a band leader originally born in North Dakota in 1892 dedicates an entire show to Hawaiian/Polynesian music. I must add that my parents (who live in Wisconsin), about 10 years ago visited Hawaii for the first time. It was a group package tour, and they traveled with the band named 'Tuba Dan and the Polkalanders' I have some great shots of my parents from that tour, that I'll have to post here some day. Its all so wunnerful, wunnerful. Vern
