All In The Family Make Up Bavarian Village Band
Thu, 12/01/2022 - 12:00am
The Bavarian Village Band was bom in 1979 when Ed Kadlecek, his daughter Nancy, Rennie Guenther and his son Greg played for a Christmas party at Goerkes Country Tavern. The kids, at the time, were in EL CAMPO MELODY BOYS Middle School. The performance went over so well that the band took off from there. In 1980, Graham Green was brought into the band. As Ed says, the equal opportunity system caused them to import a Yankee from Pennsylvania. Needless to say, Graham proved that Yankees play polkas too and has been a wonderful addition to the band.
