Someone made me a copy of this very obscure “documentary”, but unfortunately it doesn’t show the credits of who played the accordion and flute that the Shmenges played on stage. I am a big polka fan, (there, I said it :o) and would like to know who the background musicians were, if anyone knows.

Thanks and have a cabbage roll on me!😃

Since only 34 of you saw this, I would like to give it another shot at getting an answer. Hope nobody minds.

Thanks
