(CBS Primetime, 1950 - 1951)
[Before there was a "Lawrence Welk Show", Horace Heidt -- a
bandleader who had also records from the late 1920's thru
the early 1940's, got an opportunity on the new medium of TV;
Previously he had several radio shows in his name, and was
given a network TV shot in 1950 on CBS, but it lasted just
a single season;
Frank DeVol, who went on to score many TV series, was a
pianist in the Horace Heidt Orchestra;
Horace returned to television in 1955 to host the "Swift
Show Wagon" series on NBC -- the same year Lawrence Welk
made his network TV debut on ABC]
[this had also been the theme of Horace Heidt and his Orchestra
during the big band and radio years]
