   Wee Willie Band - Bill Makovsky
American, Czech, German polka

Dancing to Wee Willie Band's American/Czech/German style music is a very good way to meet new friends. Dancing is also a great way to relieve stress and a good form of exercise. The artists in our band are at their happiest playing from the bottom of our hearts for you. The band has been nominated for the Minnesota Ballroom Operators Association's Band of the Year eight times and awarded twice. Band leader William Makovsky (on concertina) hails from south central Minnesota where he grew up playing music with his family for weddings, dances, and threshing parties. We flavor our music with an electronic concertina, drums, guitar, and bass horn; the concertina was hand built here in Minnesota. The band would like to remind you "smiles are free." Band members include, from left, Wally Kessler, Augie Makovsky, Bill "Wee Willie" Makovsky, and Jim Bartusek.
