I love the polka style of Bob Timko! Every time I hear him I want to hear Polka Place.😁

[@bettyhemphill9411]

I love Bobby’s music, wonderful

[@Oudtrsmn]

How can this man not be a Lifetime Achiever at the Cleveland Polka Hall of Fame?!

[@virgie704]

Bob Timko is the best!

[@clvdjeff947]

Loved it all, but especially the 'Newberry Polka'! Very unusual accordion technique!

[@CityHallSlovene]

Bob Timko is one of my all-time favorites!! Love to listen to him play.

[@mothertree]

My dad used to play like this! MY aunt Michelle goes to the snpj hall in Cleveland all the time.I guess we are a polka family here in ohio originally from Pennsylvania!

[@jeffreyjourdonais298]

Phenomenal sound.

[@stevekasprzyk1350]

The Timko palka band used to play at the SNPJ hall in Fontana CA back in the early 70's. this was my mother and fathers favorite band. my dad and I went to Vegas in 72 when they appeared there and oh ! what a time that was.

[@davekana8388]

When I was growing up my Father, Joe Kana, took the family to see his amzing band at the SNPJ in Enon Valley, Pa.Timko was born w an accordian in his hands!

Very enjoyable music. Thanks for this wonderful moment of music! ★★★★★ Daisuke

[@martytimmers7510]

He DOESN'T NEED Accordion fill...........This was awesome

[@walmartbob1948]

I love this music. How about Art Perko at the 4r's in Collinwood

[@mosrite60]

is Bob Timko from the Cleveland area?

[@tinlizzie37]

Bob was from Euclid Ohio, I graduated with him in 1956!

[@TheMrGman3]

Does anyone know if Bob Timko is still playing anywhere,i used to hear him when he came to Milwaukee,Wis to play back in the mid to late 70's?

[@muzykaludowa394]

brawo

[@bartje0505]

Timko sound plus 100

[@mosrite60]

Great polkas. But the Cleveland accordion polkas really require 2 accordions , one for melody, one for the fill-ins. Listen to Frankie (polka God) and you'll get the picture. mos60

[@louhoward6865]

Frankie was not the :polka God: I have been a polka musician for 70 years and I'll take, Fedorchak, Timko, Sinchak, Rezed, etc anytime. Frankie got his name because on one recording with Doris Day.

[@louhoward6865]

rezek

[@sandralouden6463]

AMEN! Agree with you 100%...met Frankie once...not impressed! I also played keyboard in a polka band & knew far better (but less hyped) musicians than Yankovic. LET HIM GO ALREADY...there were FAR BETTER musicians...not to mention, FAR NICER ones than Yankovic. Anyone who cites Yankovic has as much credibility as citing Lawrence Welk as a "Polka Genius!"

[@sandralouden6463]

I agree entirely, Lou Howard. Plus, since my Dad, Uncle, surrogate older brothers Ronnie & Tommy--not to mention me playing keyboard... many polka musicians did not appreciate the "Polka King" title Yankovic somehow established as his own. Met him once--not impressed. Ego that size of Caesar!

[@Master_zzz]

@@louhoward6865 And what about Frank Novak? He is my all time favorite!

[@virgie704]

Does anyone know where you can purchase a cd by Bob Timko, "Timko on Tour"? Help!

[@s164vdv]

Бачу Тімко наш хлопець!!! Слава Україні, брате!

[@billmaag5364]

^blùè skirt waltz

[@billsomrak]

Well, he's no Joe Fedorchak (or Johnny Pecon), but he's not bad ... That accordion he's using looks vaguely like my much missed "Petromelli Polk King" ... wish I still had that box!

[@sandralouden6463]

Johnny Pecon was awesome.

[@Master_zzz]

@@sandralouden6463 What about Frank Novak?

[@daveklein2826]

He is as good... Get over yourself

[@louhoward6865]

Frank Yank was a good accordionist but his band would not stand up to any today. He did not have that good Slovenian sound.

[@chuckjuhasz519]

Lou how ard

[@sandralouden6463]

Chuck, Frankie couldn't decide if he wanted to go Hollywood, if he wanted to stay Slovenian or if he wanted to remain "The Polka King"...which he NEVER was. He lucked out with his timing as far as his meager skills could take him. Today's polka bands are far more versatile and they bring in newer blood & an updated style to keep our heritage going. You may not agree with it, but the days of 1950's polka bands will NOT attract 2018's crowds. Accept it. Live in the past...it'll die in the past.

[@sandralouden6463]

AMEN! He definitely would not survive today...and his "Polka King" moniker is only "alive and well" to folks over 85. Period. End of story.
