From the archives of the NATIONAL CLEVELAND STYLE POLKA HALL OF FAME (www.clevelandstyle.com) 1950 Polka Varieties clip features the bands of Frank Yankovic and Eddie Stampfl playing together on the bandstand
I can remember, as a little girl, going to Polka Varieties. It is where I learned the "Two Step Polka"! Mr. Yankovic was such a nice man and very talented. He was born to entertain and many of us were sad to lose him. He was a great part of many childhood memories for so many of us. Leeann
Oh my. I am back in Cleveland during the 60s. This was every Saturday afternoon on Cleveland television live from Parma. Next was Erniie Anderson(Goulardi)
This clip was actually from 1966, I think. (I think I remember the year being mentioned on another WEWS show.) Hopefully, this will lead to finding shows like the Cleveland version of "It's Academic" with Don Cameron on kinescope from around this time.
