The National Cleveland-Style Polka Hall of Fame and Museum mourns the passing of Chairman Emeritus and co-founder Tony Petkovsek. Tony brought new life to the Cleveland-Style Polka. Just when polka music seemed played out, young Tony arrived on the scene in 1961 with a daily radio show that revived America’s good-time sound. He inspired new and classic bands to record albums. His polka tours brought attention to Slovenia and took the happy music around the world. Tony’s Thanksgiving polka weekends still attract a thousand fans. His music events and causes made him an important community leader.

My husband and I have enjoyed the music of Slavko Avsenik for many years. We saw him twice in Cleveland, Ohio and at the SNPJ Lodge in Enon Valley, PA. Our favorite song that he played is ”
Die Sieben Rosen.” He is leaving a beautiful legacy of beautiful music that will remain in our hearts forever.
