The sexiest accordion player

The sexiest accordion player published on No Comments on The sexiest accordion player

myronI have a crush.  Richard and I watch tons of Lawrence Welk (only not recently because PBS has stopped playing it for some reason).  Myron Floren always steals the show, and over the years more and more of the show seems to be given to him – as if the producers know that he is the sexiest accordion player on the planet.

I am speaking as someone who likes the sound of a well played accordion; but I imagine his chops would be appreciated even by those who don’t.  What’s more, he always has the happy little grin on his face while playing and seems completely at ease being in front of a crowd and/or camera.

When I mentioned that more and more of the show is given to him through the years, I didn’t mean more accordion spots.  Eventually he starts to MC half the show in place of Mr. Welk.  And he does this better than Mr. Welk.

Give me some Lawrence Welk

No really, give me some.  I remember sitting on the shag carpet of my grandma’s den, watching Lawrence Welk on Saturday night with her and my mom.  I have to admit, I didn’t appreciate it then.  I relegated it to all the other things I wouldn’t have watched had I not been hanging out with Grandma (hello Little House on the Prairie).  But lately I have developed a strong appreciation for the show – with it’s awkward host and all.  I especially like the orchestra’s suits.

I drew this while watching a very special holiday episode.  This dude is a little to loose for Welk, though.
