Today Mr. Welk's "champagne" music has made him one of the richest, most popular ballroom maestros in the world. Starting with a four-hundred-dollar accordion, given to him by his father in return for four years' work on the farm, Lawrence began his careeer by entertaining at barn dances and weddings. Eventually he worked his way up from an audience of one, in a small town near Enid, Oklahoma, to an audience of more than thirty million, who watch him on television every week....An inspiring account of Lawrence Welk's love of music, his desire to succeed, and his heart-warming family life, this is the fasicinating story of one man who can look back over the years and say, 'WUNNERFUL, WUNNERFUL'.
