BOB BLECHA & THE BOUNCING CZECHS
Bob Blecha of Pawnee City, Nebraska put his band together in 1963. They've been playing ever since. In June 2016, they played at the anniversary party of Bob & Fran Blecha -- that would be cousin "Table Rock Bob Blecha."
Pawnee City Bob and his son Greg were joined for some sets by Bob Stephan on bass horn, Donna Svanda on drums, Galen Beck on brass, and Steve Hergenrader on accordion along with others who filled in, like Table Rock Bob with his tenor sax, Trey Blecha on accordion, and more.
Here are interviews of bass horn player Bob Stepan, who is in the Polka Hall of Fame, and drummer Donna Svanda.
And here is the full band playing some of the many that they played that night.

Sharla, so glad you do these interviews. Donna and I go way back to those Virginia dances and her folks let me tag along to many other dances too. |
