At one point Larry and I were partners. My brother,Jimmy enjoyed dancing with you, Patsy. Remember our girls group doing a car dealership commercial while dancing on a second story ledge?

I guess you have that unedited video of Larry Kane being interviewed on Good Morning Houston around 1980. Much of the video included unaired interview footage that never made it to broadcast. I am guessing they made this video copy just for Larry, but the footage got out to collectors. Larry seemed like a nice guy judging from the interview.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-60333868904271377802020-02-24T21:29:07.522-06:002020-02-24T21:29:07.522-06:00I would love to know if anyone has a pair of the g...I would love to know if anyone has a pair of the go go boots with The Larry Kane Show written on the side!

At any rate, I danced with Harriet some and believe she went to Aldine H.S. I had a little crush on her back then. I seem to remember that you came on Larry Kane towards the end of my days there. At any rate, I still meet friends regularly who dance at one of the C&W clubs in Houston. The LKS gave me a love for dancing and although I like C&W, my favorite is Whip and West Coast Swing, which is similar to some of the dancing we did on <br />the LKS.Ron Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17803039949855752502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-34671125980049500512016-04-19T21:21:25.561-05:002016-04-19T21:21:25.561-05:00There were hundreds (yes hundreds) of teens on the...There were hundreds (yes hundreds) of teens on the LKS during the 14 year run.<br />Some were there only once and others for several years.<br />Ginger Maddi married singer/producer Gary Smith. <br />Her younger sister Mary Francis was also a regular but much later than ’61.Glenn Pittshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08755104351455086048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-949137114358383602016-04-18T20:19:48.356-05:002016-04-18T20:19:48.356-05:00Why does no one mention Ginger Matti and PAT Ochoa...Why does no one mention Ginger Matti and PAT Ochoa as being on the Larry Kane show?

I started taking lessons from Jerry Roe at a little hall in Oak Forest every Wed. Eventually some of us tried out for the show and became regulars. I remember getting up early Sat. and going to Jerry Roe's main studio downtown (I believe on Dallas) and taking lessons and then going to a movie downtown and then to KTRK studio on Bissonnet for the show. I believe one of my partner's names was Maxine (Jones, I think) who also had an older sister,and another that I can't remember. Some names that I remember went to Waltrip were: Delman and Sandy, Debbie, Rodney(from St. Thomas) & Brenda, Fred and Harriet (?), Cindy, all of whom started lessons in Oak Forest and became regulars. We were all in our early teens. There were many recording stars that were on live and some were taped earlier. For some reason the only 2 that I remember vividly were Jerry Lee Lewis and Tex Ritter (main reason for Tex was I remembered he sang song for one of my favorite westerns and I went up and told him and he rubbed the top of my head).

My name was Margaret Arp. I danced with a tall, blonde headed young man most of the time. I vaguely remember about the drowning. I loved meeting the singers like Brenda Lee, The Everett Brothers and so many more talented people. I remember when Dick Clark came to the Larry Kane Show and I interviewed him for my school paper. I remember Dick was in awe about the school mums that were worn and wanted to know why they were worn and why were they so big (we would wear 3-5 real mums in a grouping. I remember some of our group that got to go to American Bandstand. I was not able to afford to go. I was heartbroken. The years on the show were and are a fantastic memory.<br /><br />My nephew, Glen Hunsucker, was also on the show. I believe it was around 1966-1970. He has always loved dancing and has and still teaches ballroom dancing. He is fabulous.<br /><br />A funny story on my sister-in-law. She went to a garage sale in Greenwood Forest in Houston northwest side many years ago. She bought some of Larry Kanes' jewelry and a couple of suits which had his name in the pockets from the cleaners. She spoke with him and he apparently lived there or was with relatives. I tried to buy a piece of his jewelry since I was the one that was on his show but she refused because she loved him and his show. She still has whatever she bought from him to this day.<br /><br />Margaret Arp Wier - mawjlw@comcast.net<br /><br /><br /> Margaret Arp Wiernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-53139682321075579502015-06-06T15:41:21.536-05:002015-06-06T15:41:21.536-05:00Darrell,

We had 2 number one singles (on Laurie Records/New York)- "Don't Stop the Carnival" (written by Scott and Vivian Holtzman/Houston Post "NowSounds" columnist), and "Come Back Baby" (written my Micky Newbury). Neal Ford of the Fanatics was our producer. Larry was so nice to us, I remember he took the time to find out a little about us before the shows aired. It was a thrill, as a teenager, to actually have a beautiful girl put make-up on us before the show! I also recall one of the band members wore a U.S. flag shirt - when they were not yet popular, in fact were considered by some as disgraceful. I remember Larry telling us after the show that their switchboard "lit up like a Christmas tree" with people calling in about that shirt. Those were exciting days for us young kids. A great book has just been released titled "The Boys of Houston" (available on Amazon and at the Boys of Houston website). It is authored by a local girl from Pasadena that we knew in high school (Sam Rayburn). She has put together a wonderful history of bands and the music scene in Houston at that time. It has over 400 pages of interviews and rare photographs. The Larry Kane Show is mentioned numerous times, since appearing on the show was the goal of every group in the area. I have enjoyed reading the comments about Larry's show. I am sure they bring back lots of memories to those of us who used to watch it every Saturday.Mike Bleikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-15020564094729087172013-07-10T21:29:41.117-05:002013-07-10T21:29:41.117-05:00Oh my gosh, I can't believe I stumbled across ...Oh my gosh, I can't believe I stumbled across this blog. I danced on the Larry Kane Show during the mid to late 60s. My main partners were Ellette Hutchison, Karen Fowler, Barbara Bram, and a young lady whose name I can't remember, but whose face I can see in my mind as if it were yesterday. I'm thinking her name was Debbie. Took dance lessons from Phillip LaPoint at Dance City USA and was awarded both the bronze and silver dance trophies. I remember the shows from the Flagship Hotel in Galveston and the pool at KTRK. Reading this blog has stirred up a whole bunch of very fond memories. Dancing on the show and having all of the wonderful friends was a true highlight in my life. I live in Austin and would travel to Houston in a heartbeat to attend a show reunion. Does anyone know what every happened to Phil LaPoint or Don Stewart. It would be awesome to see them again, not to mention all my friends from the show.Joe Brattainnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6766534511299368622.post-88220263362612825792013-01-27T00:57:16.493-06:002013-01-27T00:57:16.493-06:00How are your parents they were good friendsHow are your parents they were good friendsJakenoreply@blogger.com
