Beyond the Glory:

| How did you get involved with polkas? |
| "Being that my family
was polish, polkas was the music of choice on Sundays or any day
for that matter, birthdays, holidays, etc. Growing up, although
I listened to other types of music, polka music was what I knew.
My parents would take me to Seven Springs, Fiedors Grove or other
polka dances and I would just stand and watch the drummer. Every
now and again I would get a chance to sit in with the band. Once
I started taking lessons, all I wanted to do was play in a polka
band. Then when I was 17 years old, I finally got my first job playing
with Common Bond." |
| When did you start playing an instrument? |
| "I was 7 years old
when I started playing the drums. I can remember my dad taking me
to Miccarelli's music store so I could look at the drums. The drums
always fascinated me but I never thought of taking lessons. But
while I was looking at the kits, my dad had signed me up to take
lessons. At the time, I didn't like the idea. After almost 20 years
of playing, it was one of the best things to happen." |
