Time For Barney-----And We Don't Mean Rubble, Fife, or the Dinosaur

Let's go back to October 8, 1960, for a clip from that night's ABC telecast of The Lawrence Welk Show.  The Champagne Music Makers, featuring Barney Liddell on trombone, perform "Marie," a song written by Irving Berlin that became a big hit in 1937 for Tommy Dorsey.

 



 That night, the show was devoted to the Big Band Era.  Songs popularized by such bandleaders as Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Cab Calloway, Duke Ellington, Count Basie, and many others were featuring on this particular show.
