Myron Floren was best known as the accordionist in Lawrence Welk’s band. I was never a fan of Lawrence Welk or his television show (they were way too clean cut for me), but looking back at some of Mr. Floren’s performances on the show, I can see what an accordion wizard he really was.
In the next video, Floren and Welk play a duet on Muskrat Ramble. Muskrat Ramble was written by Kid Ory but really popularized by Louis Armstrong and his Hot Five.
…and here is Mr. Armstrong and the boys, just to put the tune in context
and more Myron Floren…Carnival of Venice
Finally, here’s a fun boogie.

I’ve been looking for a lead sheet to The Happy Norwegian. Any bright ideas?? Caroline
Maybe ask this guy: Spikeman821@aol.com
He has a pretty big inventory of accordion sheets. That’s my only suggestion.
The Lawrence Welk Show was our grandparent’s program. They simply wouldn’t miss it. I think my immediate family looked at it just once, and I was too young to remember much.
“The Happy Norwegian”! What a lovely evocative name for an accordion tune!
