Author Christopher Vondracek joins the library to talk about his adventures traveling through the Midwest and his book Dancing with Welk: Music, Memory, and Prairie Troubadour.
In 2007, college graduate Christopher Vondracek took off from Vermillion, South Dakota with his band in a van to play tour dates across the Upper Midwest. In his nap sack, he brought along a copy of Champagne Music-Maker's 1971 autobiography, Wunnerful, Wunnerful. Now, over 15 years later, in Dancing with Welk: Music, Memory, and Prairie Troubadour (published in 2022 by South Dakota Historical Society Press) Vondracek recounts that trip and the long adventure into the legacy of Welk across the prairie that his reading of the book inspired.
