Known as the King of the Polish of America, Jankovic was considered the best artist, playing in Slovenian style during his long career. He was not associated with another Weird Al Jankovic accordionist, although they collaborated. Jankovic was born to Slovenian immigrant parents, grew up in Collingwood on Cleveland's East Side. During his career, he has released more than 200 records. In 1986, he was awarded the first ever Grammy Award in the Best Polish Recording category. He rarely deviated from polka in Slovenian style, but recorded with country guitarist Chet Atkins and pop singer Don Everly. He also recorded a version of Too Fat Polka with comedian Drew Carey. The story's father Jankovic, a blacksmith, and his mother, a cook, met at a sawmill in West Virginia, where they both worked. When Jankovic was young, his father moved to Cleveland to escape authorities who learned of his bootlegging, and the rest of the family followed soon after. While living in Cleveland, he became fascinated with brass bands that played at Slovenian social events. His mother took on board to help with family finances, including a man named Max Selodek, who performed Slovenian tunes on the button box. Jankovic purchased the accordion at the age of 9 and received a few lessons from selodek. By the late 1920s, in his early teens, he was a working musician, playing at public events. In the 1930s, he formed a business relationship with Joe Trolls and began appearing on radio stations such as WJAY and WGAR. As his reputation spread, he sought opportunities to make records, but major labels turned him down. His first recordings were made for The Yankee and Joliet labels managed by Fred Wolfe, and the expenses were paid by Jankovic himself. In 1940, he married his first wife June, and they began to raise a family. However, the cost of family life quickly overcame the incoming money from his music career, so he opened a tavern, calling it Yankovic Barkovic. It became a popular destination for local musicians, and he continued to manage it until he sold it in 1948, devoting himself to the accordion. Jankovic joined the armed forces in 1943 and broke numerous records while on vacation before leaving for Europe. Jankovic was assigned to serve in the infantry in 1943 as a flamethrower operator. He fought at the Battle of Bulga, where a severe case of frostbite almost required the amputation of his arms and legs. Fortunately, he was able to beat the gangrene he received before it became necessary, and was awarded the Purple Heart. Doctors urged him to amputate his fingers, but he refused, as it would end his musical career. After he left the hospital, he and four other musicians were sent to special services to entertain military personnel, including General George Patton and his third United States Army. Jankovic hit the national stage when he received two platinum singles for Just Because (1947) and Blue Waltz Waltz (1949). Others who recorded The Blue Skirt Waltz were Tunemixers and Guy Lombardo both in 1949, Lawrence Welk (Myron Floren) in 1958, Jim Ed Brown and the Browns in 1960, 1962 and Bobby Winton in 1976.

  • The Annals of Iowa
    The Annals of Volume 75, Number 4 Iowa Fall 2016 A QUARTERLY JOURNAL OF HISTORY SPECIAL ISSUE: WOMEN AND IOWA JOURNALISM In This Issue STEPHANIE GROSSNICKLE-BATTERTON, a doctoral candidate and graduate instructor in the Department of American Studies at the University of Iowa, shows how the Woman’s Standard, a monthly news- paper produced by the Iowa Woman Suffrage Association from 1886 to 1911, incorporated rural themes in its rhetoric, showed evidence of suf- frage work in rural areas, and to varying degrees became a counterpublic space for rural women where contributors explored issues relevant to Iowa farm women. JENNY BARKER-DEVINE, associate professor of history at Illinois College in Jacksonville, Illinois, explores the motivations of the women who produced the Emerald Goose, a humor magazine published at Iowa State College during World War I. She argues that they were not simply responding to an opening created by the war but were actively contesting for space in the student newsrooms and asserting their right to participate in curricular and extracurricular journalism. TRACY LUCHT, assistant professor in the Greenlee School of Journalism and Communication at Iowa State University, surveys the storied career of Dorothy Ashby Pownall from her days as a “sob sister” at the Des Moines Capital during World War I through her publications in Ladies’ Home Journal and the Saturday Evening Post and until her retirement from the Iowa City Press-Citizen in 1955. Pownall’s wide-ranging work, Lucht argues, reveals her methods of exercising agency within a patriarchal field and illustrates why historians must expand what they consider important journalism if they are to make their narratives more inclusive of women.

  • Download Walter Ostanek Bio Sheet PDF Format
    The Walter Ostanek Story The story of “Canadaʼs Polka King”, Walter Ostanek begins in the small town of Duparquet, Quebec, where he was born Ladislav John Ostanek on April 20, 1935, of Slovenian heritage (decent). When he was four, Walterʼs family moved to the St.Catharines, Ontario area and by the age of nine, Walter began playing the button diatonic accordion. At age 12, he received his first piano accordion, and only four years later, in 1951, he broadened his horizons and formed his own group, his first Country Western/polka Band. Two years later, he had joined with Abbie Andrews and the Canadian Ranch Boys, and was an instrumental part of their radio show, (three programs a week). At age 21, Walter felt he was ready to proceed further on his own, and on Saturday, January 26, 1957, his new band played its first engagement at the German Village in Niagara Falls, Ontario the day had finally come after 13 years of study, hard work, and determination. Walterʼs dream had come true – the Walter Ostanek Band was now a reality. The next milepost in Walterʼs life bears the date February 22, 1857, when he and his bride, Irene, exchanged their vows in marriage. With their two children, they now reside in St.Catharines, Ontario, Canada. In his leisure time, Walter favours a quiet evening at home, where he immerses himself in his favorite music, including Polkas and Country. Some of his favorite artists are; Americaʼs Polka King, Frankie Yankovic, and Country artists, Ray Price, George Strait, Randy Travis, Charlie Pride, George Jones, Alan Jackson, and Clint Black, to name a few.

  • The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Recordings & the Sonics of Us Citizenship
    THE SOUND OF ETHNIC AMERICA: PREWAR “FOREIGN-LANGUAGE” RECORDINGS & THE SONICS OF US CITIZENSHIP Mathew R. Swiatlowski A dissertation submitted to the faculty at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of American Studies in the College of Arts & Sciences Chapel Hill 2018 Approved by: Jocelyn R. Neal Sharon P. Holland Timothy Marr Michael Palm Andrea Bohlmam © 2018 Mathew R. Swiatlowski ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mathew R. Swiatlowski: The Sound of Ethnic America: Prewar “Foreign-Language” Records and the Sonics of US Citizenship (Under the direction of Jocelyn R. Neal) This dissertation explores the juncture of sound and citizenship to consider how the boundaries of nation are maintained at both geospatial and cultural borders. Specifically, the project concerns “foreign-language” recordings made by US recording companies prior to World War II (hereafter, prewar). With the onset of war in Europe in 1914, “foreign-language” recordings were increasingly cut domestically, featuring vernacular performers of the Great Wave of immigration that brought Hungarian, Syrian, Ukrainian, Turkish, Polish, Mexican, Chinese, and Japanese peoples, alongside a host of other nationalities, to the US beginning in the latter half of the nineteenth century. Initially marketed to specific immigrant populations in the US, these recordings eventually became the province of postwar record collectors and the reissue music market by the 1970s. The narrative of the project draws much of its power by connecting their discrete moments of circulation with the political realities that shaped their audition. As such, the project examines the interplay between, what I call, the “national vernacular imaginary” and state policy in regards to immigration and citizenship.

  • Parody As a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015
    Parody as a Borrowing Practice in American Music, 1965–2015 A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Division of Composition, Musicology, and Theory of the College-Conservatory of Music by John P. Thomerson BM, State University of New York at Fredonia, 2008 MM, University of Louisville, 2010 Committee Chair: bruce d. mcclung, PhD ABSTRACT Parody is the most commonly used structural borrowing technique in contemporary American vernacular music. This study investigates parody as a borrowing practice, as a type of humor, as an expression of ethnic identity, and as a response to intellectual trends during the final portion of the twentieth century. This interdisciplinary study blends musicology with humor studies, ethnic studies, and intellectual history, touching on issues ranging from reception history to musical meaning and cultural memory. As a structural borrowing technique, parody often creates incongruity—whether lyrical, stylistic, thematic, evocative, aesthetic, or functional—within a recognized musical style. Parodists combine these musical incongruities with other comic techniques and social conventions to create humor. Parodists also rely on pre-existing music to create, reinforce, and police ethnic boundaries, which function within a racialized discourse through which parodists often negotiate ethnic identities along a white-black binary. Despite parody’s ubiquity in vernacular music and notwithstanding the genre’s resonance with several key themes from the age of fracture, cultivated musicians have generally parody. The genre’s structural borrowing technique limited the identities musicians could perform through parodic borrowings. This study suggests several areas of musicological inquiry that could be enriched through engagement with parody, a genre that offers a vast and largely unexplored repertoire indicating how musical, racial, and cultural ideas can circulate in popular discourse.
