Great music fun to listen to
Lepa pesem in Lepa petje
Hello all! Does anyone know how the name of the second tune played here came to be? “Perme’s Polka?” That is my last name, hence the question! My father, John “Jack” Perme played in the Fairport Ensemble back in the 80’s with Ray Krajc, amongst others. They cut three albums (all on Apple Music, courtesy of Krajc) toured Europe, went on cruises…all as The Fairport Ensemble. Man, those guys would tear up those Slovenian dance halls!! They really were good!
There used to be a furniture store in Cleveland called Perme Furniture. I think that was the name. This song was either written for the commercial for Perme Furniture or it was used for the commercial. Apparently, Perme Polka is a very well known polka song… in Cleveland. The owner of Perme Polka was my grandfathers brother. Perme is my maiden name. All Cleveland polka bands know the Perme Polka song. Whenever I see a polka band I always have them play this.
There is NOONE like Benzy. His music still makes my heart happy, even after all these years. 💕💕
Too funny
Não deixem esse vídeo morrer! ❤

One of the GREATEST
HORRIBLE VOCALS
oooh we got it.....two chords for the chorus and then a great build up to the bridge. We Got it it is Hillbilly Polka.
I'm only 14 and I'm more of an old school style and i want to learn to play an accordion like Benzy R.I.P🪗
JOHNNY VADNAL WAS THE BEST!!! HE SOLD ONE OF HIS ITALO AMERICAN ACCORDIONS TO MY GRANDPA, WHO HAD TO TAKE OUT A LOAN FOR IT, TO GIVE TO MY FATHER, RONNIE DODICH WAS HE WAS 13 YRS OLD! MY DAD TRAVELED ALL OVER THE WORLD WITH THAT ACCORDION FOR OVER 60 YRS! AT 84 YRS OLD, HE'S STILL PLAYING THAT ACCORDION! WE WERE BLESSED AND CHERISH THAT ACCORDION!!
Fantastic !
Was this recorded at Herminie Slovenian Hall? I think I was there for this! Benzy was one of the greatest accordionists that ever lived and many people learned to play the button box and accordions so well that they formed there own bands! RIP Benzy you are missed my friend, see you in heaven one day!
Jerry Zagar, what a hero!
Jerry Zagar is the man who shapes this dancing doll. That also applies to the rest of the songs
A basszus kibaszott jó! Gratulálok. De az egész zenekar is!
I been in the polka music business as a (Drummer ) for over 46 years and played with many of the top bands threw out Wi and many other states with very many button accordion bands like Frank Yankovic and Walter Ostanek all so Eldon Otto band and was a DJ on WMBK We played a lot of Benzy Rathbone on our polka show .we loved his playing so much .he has what I all ways called on the air as the acid polka's There was not anyone that had as much drive and talent as he had by far !
