Near the End
This 1982 show is the antepenultimate of both the season and the series. It's supposed theme is "Southern California," but only one song, "California Dreaming," even mentions the state. Norma does "Sound of Music,"
the choir sings "America," and the band renders a terrible version of the "1812 Overture." Jimmy and Tom are nowhere to be seen No solos for Joe or Kathie.
The 17 songs performed take up 36 minutes, or the usual 2 + minutes per piece. This was customary throughout the 70s and 80s; too many people, not enough time. The lip syncing of prerecorded material is particularly obvious.
The 2007 wrap around features the Otwells, who recount their Welk and post-Welk career.
All in all, an average presentation, particularly for the end of line shows.
