POLKA BAND GOBI

Thik Polka…the band ( now known as Polka Band Gobi)

When you hear the words THIK POLKA your immediately think of one of the biggest Polka Bands in the U.S. and standing with a group of your best friends in some concert hall or outdoor stadium or at a friends wedding in a small hall and yelling, “We want TP, we want TP” . You think of Yosh doing his accordion solo for Dark Side of the Moon. You think of cabbage rolls and Lederhosen and of you watching your mum making you a special batch of pierogies...with cheese and potatoes. Every time we think of Thik Polka we think of all those times, each and every one of us.

This site has not been long in the making and is a tribute to the world’s best Polka Band…”Thik Polka” ( or TP for short) a band that I and so many have followed and loved and treasured for many dozens of years. When you look back on the history and fame of Thik Polka, the band, what imediately comes to mind to so many people is a band that ;

1) Made Lederhosen popular to people in all walks of life.
2) That the phrase “ where’s the TP” has a whole new meaning to music lovers everywhere.

Thik Polka’s history is known to many and does not bear repeating other than to state that when everyone thought the story ended…it just began. While on the final dates of their Upper Western New York State World tour, Thik Polka left their accordions in their hotel room and left a note for their nephew, explaining their absence. In this note, it was explained that they were tired of all the fame of all the glory and were off to India to search and to discover the “Perfect Polka”, to find the source of the Polka and then to play the perfect polka at the Taj Mahal. Through these pages I hope to bring to life, the journey of Thik Polka (now known in India as Polka Band Gobi)and their search. Prior to leaving for India, TP developed a strong bond with a Mr. Kumar of Mysore India and Kumar I am sure will be an invaluable resource for Polka Band Gobi
p.s."Gobi" means cabbage in Hindi

Help Yosh and Stan find this Groupie Person

Do you know who this is, anyones? yes
I am askings for all of our loyal fans supports to see if you can
tell Stan and Yosh who this fan is.  She sometimes shows up in the audience at some of our POLKA BAND GOBI World Tour Polka gigs. Sometimes she dances by herself wearing Polka Band Gobi  Lederhosen and rocks to the Polka and sometmes she stands in the front  row and then after the show she is not theres to see . . We saw her  in Timor last month at our Friday show where we rocked the house to our polka versions of Pink Floyd and we think we  spots her in Suva Fiji . We thinks we did  and also perhaps  in some other country somewheres.  We are bringing the Polka to a town nears to you so we wander all over to many places and she shows up at most of them.  Kumar says she is a polka groupie and to tells the truth, Stan and I see how this could be so.  Yes we do. 
Oh, we have this phooto as she sent it to us and she signed it
as "biggerst PBG Fan."  Help us find out who she is.

I've seen her in Lackawanna N.Y., she was on that bus that takes peeples on a tour of where Polka Band Gobi started. You know the one that visits the house where Yosh and Stan grew up. I drive the tour bus on weekends on the 2 p.m. shift so ask for me, Gubber when you come for the tour. She was on the bus and took so many photos and told stories to the other person on the tour bus, she told oh so many stories of Polka Band Gobi and all the cities she visited to see them play. She said she likes to Polka.
