“Transportation"
Guest: Ken Delo
Original Air Date: October 14, 1972
The Welk stars have
fun paying tribute to various forms of transportation,
from the opening
number, "Gotta Travel On" with everybody on three-wheeled
bikes! Tanya
is "Walkin' the Floor," Guy & Ralna change the mood a little
with a spirited
version of "Do Lord." Bob Lido and his Hotsy Totsy pals try
to get the plane
off the ground with "Those Magnificent Men in
Their Flying Machines."
