Polka Smasheroos by the Almars
This is the first album and a great one made in 1966 by Al Markic and the Almars. The Dream Awhile Waltz from side B is missing because it was too scratchy.

This Album is ' At Home' by Frank Hornyak. This are Czech Style Melodies, published in 1977. I love the wonderful drumming though out the album. He also did a song I really love titled 'The Brown Pony Polka'. Unfortunately it is not on this album, but I'll try to get it on a future album.

    Frankie Vadnal 1921-1995 is the guitarist. I worked with Frankie at Addressograph Multigraph in the mid 1970s. Nice person, he was a quiet easy going personality. He composed this tune, he was a fine guitarist. His fame was such that Frankie was featured along with several other guitarists in ad for Gibson guitars.

      Czech can understand Slovak, Slovakian is like 50 words or so from not even being considered an actual language and rather an eastern Czech dialect, its that similar.

      @@Badookum Yes, I know. I am a Czech speaker 🤣🤣 That’s why I was telling the viewers all the songs are in Slovak so as not to assume the sings are in Czech. And yes, linguistically they are both probably dialects of a general “Czechoslovakian language” continuum. But standardized and codified politically in their own ways.

      No, none of these are from bohemia but some are from moravia. Moravian dialect is sometimes similar to slovakian language since it's in the borderland, but it's still czech. For example the song that starts at 9:54, thats a moravian folk song. I speak moravian dialect and was born in the borderland, but nowadays the old moravian dialects sound more slovakian than czech, so it can be confused.
