We have two polka Bands for you. Chester (Celia's Brother) and Sally's sons Bob and Rick play for "The Music Company", and Ray plays for "Downtown Sound".

Here is the link and a portion of the article that has some info on a Christmas CD that "the Music Company" and "Downtown Sound" are on. We have the CD and my parents have a cassette of it. http://www.polamjournal.com/polka/pnews.html

Christmas in Chicago

You can never have too many Polka and Polish Christmas recordings. If you are like me, you can't wait to get them out of the corner of the rack and start listening to the Twinkle Toes, Dancing Santa Claus or the Polish Koledy. Of course, there is nothing like a polka "Christmas in Chicago" and that just happens to be the title of the newest holiday offering from Bel-Aire studios in the Windy City.

Tony Blazonczyk is the producer and engineer behind this 14 track CD which highlights the talents of Eddie Blazonczyk, Chet Kowalkowski, Gerry Tarka's Midwest Sounds, Rusty Fingers, The Downtown Sound, The Music Company, Bruce Korosa and The Good Times. As you would expect, this one presents a variety of
styles and songs, and continues the tradition of those Chicagoland Christmas celebrations that have made the holiday season even more special.

Blazonczyk and Kowalkowski are teamed on "Dance Around the Christmas Tree" polka and the Polish "Jesus Malusienski." Rusty Fingers does a good cover of the Pala Brothers' "Sausage and Sauerkraut for Santa" polka with two nice grindy boxes in the instrumentation. Add the drive of The Good Times, the smoothness of
Korosa, the great sounds and vocals of the Midwest Sounds, the today stylings of The Downtown Sound and The Music Company, and you have over 38 minutes of Christmas in Chicago.

Grab this one today and start celebrating Christmas the way the Polka way and dance around the Christmas Tree. The recording is available on cassette or Compact Disc. Contact: Bel-Aire Records at: 7208 South Harlem Avenue, Bridgview, IL 60455 or call: 708-594-5182.
