Dear Friends, For several years I have had the privilege of providing the musical background for liturgical celebrations. It all started accidentally at a Happy Louie Polka weekend when they realized there was no music. I was happy to oblige with some beautiful Polish hymns. A bit later, I began composing songs for the Polka Mass. To make it easier for everyone to sing along, I composed liturgical words to familiar Polish Folk melodies. The first selection, "Poland's Blessed Again" was composed when POland was going through Solidarity's struggle for freedom. Special thanks goes out to my buddies, Jimmy Noga on drums, Bob "Flash" Krupka and Bob Wroblewski on trumpets and Dave Kiemienz on piano. And a big Dziekuje to Uncle Kenny Cekosh for his help on this project. Here's hoping we can help lift your spirits up to God. May God be with youi.
