Chiquito – Ruben Calzado and his Latin Orchestra
Ruben Calzado and his Latin Orchestra, Chiquito, Palette MPZ-1006, 1960. He’s Cuban, don’t know if he’s the same guy I see at youtube as Rudy Calzado. He was born Ruben Dario Calzado Gonzalez. This is a kind of Latin Lounge Music.
Polka “Dot” Party – Herb Shriner
Herb Shriner, Polka Dot Party, Dot DLP 25149, 1959. “See, if I grab just a little hair right here, it makes me sneeze.” Love the cool 1950s artwork on the back.
Six Fat Dutchmen
Six Fat Dutchmen, Polkas: Greatest Hits. Dot DLP 25358. 1961. Not sure why they thought a colon was needed in the title. At first I thought the band name was a joke, but they really were a popular polka band! I knew a guy in the Army who was from New Ulm, MN.

Polka Pie! Try some!
Lou Logist (his chorus AND orchestra!), Polka Pie, Palette MPZ-1007. 1959. What a disgusting cover! Actually the dolls are kinda cute, but the mushroom bread stuff they are standing on is blech.
And what is a “Logist”? Someone who studies words? (Logos being Greek for “word”) Or someone who couldn’t decide what to study? Phrenologist, philologist, etymologist, retrologist, triviologist, etc.
This Lou Logist is a trombonist from Europe. That’s probably where he got his funny name. You know how those Europeans are. No offense intended, I know this is the WORLD wide web. Invented, of course, by American Al Gore. That British guy Tim Berners-Lee working with that Swiss located CERN had very little to do with it.
The Money Machine Nashville Tenn.
The Money Machine, Nashville, TN. Appears to be some kind of radio programming.
