Customer Reviews

Some of his better polkas
The songs are some of the old favorites the way only Marion Lush could play them. The sound quality on a few songs was not the best, but overall it was worth the price. Wish I could find more of his recordings.

Fan From Indiana
Marion Lush was the best male singer of all time. My brother Bob Bobin was very lucky to be a member of his band back in the early years right after he started playing music. I can remember going to dances with my folk's to listen to Marion & my brother singing together.

Great Polkaz and Waltzes
Lovely music cheerful and romantic whether in English or Polish. What a fun album.
