So very poignant to remember the music of my parents and grandparents. These memories both haunt me and help me get through the remainder of my life. At seventy, clearly I have lived longer than I have left...I am one of the last who still remember and embrace our eastern european heritage especially in our rich and compelling music. When it is my time to go, I shall just follow the music and I shall be home. .
Austie is MAGNIFICENT; MAN I COULD LISTEN TO HIM ALL DAY: WONDER IF HE IS RELATED TO ED O'NEIL ( AL BUNDY ) FROM YOUNGSTOWN, OH THEY RESEMBLE EACH OTHER
Bob Turcola has a terrific band here, I sure love his music, but who is that excellent back up accordionist? never seen a guy play like that before, does someone know who he is?
@kavanaugh77 all the big polkafests are the older generations are dying and younger generations seem to have no interest in polka music even up here in northern WI/ MN
I have several tapes by Bob’TURCOLAI hope I pronounced it or spelt it right but anyway he was great tape so I suppose it like the white beer poker that was always pretty funny

You noticed the "schnoz" they both seem to share? lol
Ah the days of old, Frankenmuth is about through. Hardly anything now.
Very sad, but true. "To everything there is a season..."
This band is doing their best to whip the crowd into a frenzy, metaphoricly speaking. Did they succeed? I'm feeling it.
this is when turk was on top
Turk was the best we have been friends for years
I am glad that they now offer non-alcohol "O'Doul's" at Frankenmuth, Michigan.
No better sax player than Al Martini
the best role model a son could ever ask for!!!!!!!!
Current videos please. Not old stuff. Covid is over.
