Jack Imel: My Years with Lawrence Welk as a Tap-Dancing

Jack Imel: My Years with Lawrence Welk as a Tap-Dancing Marimba Player

Are you one of the millions of devoted fans who faithfully watch The Lawrence Welk Show at six oâ€™clock on Saturday night? Then you surely remember Jack Imel, the tap-dancing marimba player who charmed the audience with his musical talent, comedic appeal, and handsome good looks. After a long and lively career in show business that began when he was just a small-town youngster from Portland, Indiana, Jack reluctantly decided it was probably time to retire at the age of 76. In this book, he shares a lifetime of amusing stories that take you behind the scenes with the beloved Welk Family of Musicians and on the road with a bizarre assortment of performers such as Captain Astronaut, Tonka the Lion, and Cannonball Jones. Jack Imel loves life, and his enjoyment shines through in this delightful memoir. Like the lyrics suggest from his signature song "Old Bones": Oh yes, heâ€™d like to do it all again.
