Description:
Radio Mirror (later known as Radio and Television Mirror) was a fan magazine for radio listeners and later TV viewers that includes profiles of the stars, visits to radio and television studios, and program listings. The early years in the 1930s show the interaction of motion pictures, recordings, the stage, radio and even politics. The role of radio in World War II is well covered in the 1940s, and by the 1950s the focus shifts to television and a new generation of personalities. -- David Pierce, 2013

He thinks the girls are a bit young for accordion lessons, but Randy studies piano — and they're all eager "artists." Myron Floren's accordion won him a lifetime romance— and a lifetime job with Lawrence Welk's great band By GORDON BUDGE IT was back in September, 1931, that Myro: Floren — now star accordionist with Lawrence Welk on ABC — played his first "professional" job at the Day County Fair in his home town of Webster, South Dakota. Today, Myron says, rather apologetically, "Miss Swenson, the music teacher who first taught me rhythm and note reading, urged her County Commissioner father to give me the job." Eleven-year-old Myron worked two days for ten dollars. But Myron, shy by nature, didn't have to apologize for the seeming "political" patronage. The fact was that, without a lesson in his life, Myron had won two amateur contests — one on piano, the other on accordion — and well deserved to step up into the professional ranks, young as he was. Twenty-five years later, on June 12, 1956. accordion strapped (Continued on page 76) Myron is on The Lawrence Welk Show, ABC-TV, Sat., 9 to 10 P.M. EDT, for Dodge Dealers of America. Of course, they must have "magic boxes" like Dad's! (Kris's tiny one is a gift from Welk.)
