"Texas old-time fiddling instilled the spirit of Texas music pioneers in my son, Jonathan, and I. As you play or listen, waves of feelings pass through body, mind, and soul….a very deep uplifting. Special beyond words. That’s Texas Fiddling." --Texas Fiddler Robert Herridge.
Thanks to the magic of technology, some of the Dancehall Boys (now known as Czech Melody Masters) greatest hits, have been compiled on two new albums. Volume One contains songs from radio station promos and previous cassettes. Volume Two has all live tracks recorded at Dubina Picnic and other Dancehall Boys' dances in Texas.
I had a great time in Ennis at the Czech Music Festival. My highlights:
I met some great Polka On fans at the Ennis Czech Music Festival. The Zionces from Arkansas, the Kirbys from Elm Mott, and new subscriber Mary K Macalik Torres from Arlington. See more photos from the festival on page 19.
