Last year saw the retirement of several musicians from the Polka and Waltz world. One of these was Frances Barton of the Czech Melody Masters from the Taylor/ Austin area. Frances’ Czech music roots run deep, her great-great-grandfather, Josef Zarsky, led a hammered dulcimer band near Vsetin, Moravia, in the old country.
