"I guess you can say that Polka Music found me. It was the mid 70's, and my mom would take us to Waterford Beach, which bordered Ocean Beach Park, New London, CT. One week there was loud music hurricaning in from across the parking lot. I'm sure mom knew what Polkabration was, but I was five years old. "Can we please go swimming now?" Fourteen years later, the first polka band I joined was Dick Pillar. What? That's right, and I knew nothing, but I sure learned a lot. And it all began with Dick Pillar in 1988". "There are plenty of other bands I've filled in with, and I'd like to thank them for the experience. And with all the musicians that influenced me (you know who you are..Dammit!), I learned more than anything I ever did at the Hartt School of Music. Now I'm totally psyched to be playing and enjoying it with this group of cool cats. Hopefully when it all ends, I will be drinking a beer, playing 'Girls in Every Town', and just drop. Thank you Mom and Dad, I miss you dearly"..Kevin Krauth
