TRUE STORY! Last winter, while organizing old photographs, we came across two negatives that did not match any of the pictures we had. So we took them in for developing and here are the results.

Fezz Fritsche on the clarinet and Eddie Willinger as "Tanta Anna" on the concertina.

Posing for the camera is Fezz Fritsche, Elhart Ebel and Tanta Anna.

One of the most rarest and sought after recordings by polka enthusiasts from around the world... Francis Becher & The Peppy Stars Orchestra featuring Francis Becher on accordion, Frank Pochron on drums, and Allen Portman on Bass horn.
