Kramer Sisters.

We were entertained at Brokdale this afternoon by the Kramer sisters from Kramer, NE. Janet on the right is the lead singer with Dawn playing the Mandolin, Harmonica and Accordion. Their voices harmonize beautifully. They began singing together several years ago and admired the Andrew sisters. Though they are not sisters and no longer live in Kramer, they chose to perform as the "Kramer Sisters". Dawn is the daughter of Leonard Becwar who lead a Polka Band in the area for a number of years. We even had some of his records at one time.

We were able to bring only a very limited number of our records along when we moved here a year ago but son Jon has many of the Polka ones. When Dawn played "The Saddle Horse" Polka, it really got the toes to tapping. She went on to invite the singing of "Praha" as some voices were heard from the audience. It didn't take long to recognize that it was Leroy Fiala, a long time resident here, who led the Czech singing. There was a good crowd with the Dining room set up in theater style. The "sisters" are scheduled to be back again this fall. We will look forward to their return.
