They could sing so high they often times didn't eat or drink dairy products for a year to keep their voices able to hit those high notes.

Hank Guzevich (Polka Family Band - Trumpet) and John Gora (John Gora Band - Piano) entertained us at dinner in Zakopane Poland. Their friend was visiting on his 50th anniversary and was playing the accordion.






The evening was filled with music by a great pianist, Jacek Makowski, from Poland age 74. He was the master pianist when he was age 20 for the Krakow Symphony. Now he plays for tips at local hotels in Zakopane, Poland. WE were so lucky to have heard him play.
