    I grew up in a very polish area - everyone was Polish, Catholic, and farmers. Polka dances every weekend and all weddings had live polka bands. 💕💕. This is the best music ever! Eddie B was brilliant and had the best voice! 💕💕

      Such a beautiful polish artest! You were so fortunate. I miss our family polish wedding's an party's . My grandparents were hard workers . An had a farm that caught fire . . Worked but knew how to have a polish good time . Dance ,An sing, Polish food for family , friends an all . Brings tears to my eyes , when we've have no polish party's no more . Family got a lot smaller as ones so dear have passed on through the years . What a smile in my heart to listen to all these songs . Tears of happy moments upon on my mind . So I loved your statement an it's soo True .🙏❤️😊

    I don’t have an ounce of Polish in me but I was adopted into a loving family. My mom’s side is Polish. My grandpa loved listening to Eddie and I’d listen with him and dance polka with my grandpa. Such wonderful memories.

    Ok. As a Polish American AND the 1978 Mayor Bilandic 9:54 Chicago lakefront polka champion I got to win the contest entirely with the help of Eddie. I gave him the song we practiced to and the cue as to when we were done...
    And it was perfect! Thank you so much Eddie. He was the best.

    I’m not polish but grew up in a polish area and my dads best freind was polish and my dad was a good polka dancer. He would be on the floor for hours. Even my grandma Saturday morning polka would be blasting every Saturday morning early. I’ll never forget my dad getting ready to go see Eddie b at the bayway polish home in the 80s. This music will always have a special place in my heart ❤️

I listened to these Bands every weekend in various VFW's and Bars all over Minn.
