HARVE, I FOLLOWED FRANK FROM 1946 TILL HE DIED. I SEEN HIM PLAY AT THE AIR FORCE NCO CLUB IN WITCHITA FALLS, TEXAS 1951 AND 2 WEEKS LATER I SEEN HIM IN THE MANOR CLUB IN BEAVER FALLS PENNA.
HE SAID "YOU GET AROUND MORE THAN I DO" GREAT MUSIC AND THE OLD ONES BRING BACK MEMORIES. ALOT OF MY POLKA BUDDIES HAVE GONE.
the first band I ever played in at 13 years old was with an accordion player in Pittsburgh. A person is either gonna be (or get) happy (or nuts) after playing/listening to a couple sets' worth of polkas!
Frank Yankovic was my Uncle Joe's favorite Polka performer. My Uncle and I had some great times together listening to Frank Yankovic. They are both gone now, but I still have the memorys of the great times my Uncle Joe and I had together listening to Frank and the other Slovenian Polka Artists.
Thank You Joe Godina for putting these treasured videos of Frank on You Tube.
This medleyes was popular between 1920 and 1940 in Slovenia. Some are singed in original language, all other were transformed in English with original Slovene music.
