Thank you for this records. My father brought this music from US in 80' All Lemko people also listened and danced on parties with this songs. Beautiful time and memories. All best to You. Здоровлу з Лемковыни
I spent my youth listening and dancing to melody nights music. In fact my husband designed some of the album covers. Sorry to lose some of the players but they are remembered by the music they played and we listen to. Great job Victor keeping this alive
Hi Nona, Sorry, I don't remember your name, but thanks for the complements. We tried hard to make people happy with our music. Time is flying, so I thought this might be the right time to post these memorable songs and fun moments in our early lives, preserving our Ukrainian Heritage. Enjoy!!!!!! Vic...
I don't know who you are, (NY EITech) but thanks for your thoughts of us. Yes we were a funky Ukrainian band. We loved every minute playing our cultural music and mostly we enjoyed watching you people dance. Long live free Ukraine. Victor B.
Hi Victor. My name is Yurko, I'm a fan of Melody Night. If by any chance you will pass through New York, let me know. We can cross over and hang out somewhere. Thnx.
NY ElTech Zdorov Yurko, Melody Night is no longer together, as you may know. I now live in Tampa, Fl. Retired and no longer playing the squeeze box. Too old and major back problems. Accordions are heavy and after playing since I was 10, I think it got to me. I don't plan on ever going back to NY, but if you are ever visiting down here, look me up. I'm listed everywhere. Thanks for the nice comments. Do Pobachinya
Victor Beletzky Pryvit Vitya!!! You see, that feels unaccustomed. Your music is so fresh and full of energy!!!, so can't believe you are aside already. I will definitely visit you with pleasure by chance. Wish you Mnohaya Lita!!!
Born in Auburn NY 97, from some of the pictures I’ve seen you guys played at Saints Peter and Paul Ukrainian Church at our festivals… only missed you guys by a couple decades or so unfortunately. Great stuff!
Many thanks Victor for posting those precious recordings! You probably do not realise how much those Melody Night songs meant for us Ukrainians behind this soviet iron curtain. Mere understanding that somewhere across the globe in the US some free Ukrainians sung the same songs we heard since early childhood from our parents and grandparents... It meant a lot! And still does. Thank you for years of wonderful music. G-d Bless you.
Thanks for the complements. We tried hard to make people happy with our music...... Muchas Gracias, yo naci en Venezuela.......Enjoy......Disfruta......
Mis padres vinieron a Venezuela de Ucrania y Rusia después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial. Hablo y entiendo y amo ambos idiomas y su música. También hablo español y amo la música latina. Puedes escuchar el sabor latino en nuestra música también. Es un placer comunicarme contigo. Nuestras raíces son muy similares. Adiós. (Disculpe mi español, traductor de Google)........
Yes, we do get them in Canada, but only in certain areas. The west end of Toronto gets a lot. I'm an hour and a 1/2 drive from Toronto, so only Canadian and country music here. It's nice we have the on-line stuff to listen too.
Thank you for Posting Vic! These recordings bring back so many wonderful memories of my childhood. Yes, on Tuesday, the 17th of March, it will be 8 years and 9 months since Tato passed into heaven. It does my heart good to see him in his hey day on stage with you guys! Thanks again for posting!
+canadiangoose251 We played in Canada many times in the mid 70's. Toronto, Hamilton, Montreal, Vancouver, Dauphin Manitoba Ukrainian Festival. Band broke up in mid 80's. I wish we could do it all over again. Too old now. Thanks for your interest. Good music makes the world go around.
Hi Christina, the song on 46 min mark on the "On the Road" live recordings you are referring to is a Tango called (in Ukrainian Lety Tyzlyva Picne) (in English Fly My Lonely Song). This song is also on our volume 2 album side 2 track 2 or on RUclips it's the ninth song. Type my name in the search field and you will get all our music. Thanks for your interest. Enjoy.......Vic

Yurko, have we ever met? Are you from Rochester, NY? I like to know who I'm speaking/communicating with.
No, Victor. I've never seen you guys. I know about MN from Ukraine. Since 1980. That's a long story.
What's the name of the song at 46 min.? Please and thanks!
