Several weeks back, I embeded a YouTube video of a 1955 ABC telecast of the Lawrence Welk Show that originated from Chicago. Here's another clip from this episode as the Champagne Music Makers perform Chuck Berry's "Maybelline."
Key Personnel:
Buddy Merrill, electric guitar (Let's see him try Chuck's duck walk!)
Myron Floren, accordion
Johnny Klein, drums
Buddy Hayes, bass
Pete Lofthouse, trombone
Bill Page, clarinet
George Aubry, saxophone
Rocky Rockwell, trumpet

Rock 'N Roll, The Lawrence Welk Way....
As practiced by Buddy Merrill on this clip from a 1956 telecast of the Lawrence Welk Show. On this clip, Buddy sings and plays "Rock 'N Roll Ruby," a song written by Johnny Cash.
The song, I think, was originally recorded in Memphis by one of Johnny's Sun Records colleagues, Warren Smith.
