To the best of my knowledge Chet was never on the Lawrence Welk show, but then I never saw every Welk show, so I'm not certain of that.

Mike,
Does that mean you have an album with Chet on it playing 'polka' music? :roll:

Come to think of it, I think I DID hear Chet play the "Beer Barrel Polka" once! :mrgreen:

He played "Guitar Polka", "Nambuospirit Polka", "Tennessee Polka", "Beer Barrel Polka" and of course, "Polka Dots and Moonbeams" but as near as I can see there was no polka album nor were all of the songs listed on one album. Mike's gran must have a one of a kind album

It was JOKE ! ! !

Polka Mania was ficticious Weird Al Yankovic album from the movie UHF . . .

It happened to be playing on a TV at BestBuy the other day, which is WHY I remembered it . . .
