Hello Walt, I found the Walt Procanyn site by surfing and burst into tears when I heard the Clarinet Polka. My late husband played your recordings everyday going back and forth to work. We traveled 72 miles one way and he just kept on playing your music. He just loved your Clarinet Polka. He played the clarinet and had his own Polish Band
but he said he could never play the clarinet Polka as Wally Balicki did. He could never get over how fast Wally went up and down the Clarinet with the notes and he was a good musician.He also played the alto and tenor sax and accordion
All our children played an instrument and would play along with him. He was teaching my little grandaughter who was 4 at the time, when he passed away. How thrilled he would have been that I found your beautiful Web Site. I will always keep comeing back to your site especially to hear the "Clarinet Polka"
Sto Lat and thanks for the memories

Hi Pro..Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Wanted to listen to your new CD "BIG BAND POLKA SWING" . it is Polkarific. You really have a innovative style and sound, and know how to showcase it. It's one thing to have violins, and musicians & vocalists in the studio. But one must know how to present them and to arrange for them. This seperates the men from the boys. as they say, my friend, you are the main man. Looking forward to receiving all of your CD's.

Yo Mate Walt,I think you have the Best Polka Band in the land. Your BIG BAND POLKA SWING CD is very simply the very best Mate. I was in the US Navy about the same time you were
and I remember you being on the "ED SULLIVAN ALL NAVY TALENT CHAMPIONSHIP SHOW" representing the USS PERRY DD844
I have had the personal pleasure of listening to your orchestra many times over the years in person... and you are still a "CHAMPION" in my books always a gentleman. I was on the USS Hornet-detachment Foxtrot out of Mearmar California back in 1956-57. and traveled the Pacific.
God Bless Walt

HiWalt, Just received a copy of your Big Hit,"Big Band Polka Swing"Hope I don't swell your head but the cutting edge sounds of the Procanyn Orchestra,are without a doubt & without a question ,the best Big Band & Polka Sounds I have ever heard.Everyone who loves this type of music is losing out if they don't get a copy. I have played them over 36 times in the past couple of days and can't ,get enough of your music. Walt, do you replace worn out CD's? You have made monumental musical strides in the past several years. Keep cranking out the great music, and please advise me as to when you will have another new CD out. I enjoy your Web Site very colorful & informative"Your Polka Cuzzin,Gary Hopps,"New York State Police (Retired) Your CD cover is the best as usual.

Dear Waju,
Thank you so much for sending me a copy of your latest CD "Big Band Polka Swing" for air play on my Polka Show.
It is OUTSTANDING!!! I really enjoyed your new singers!!!!Acapella Yet!! They reminded me of the Hi Lo's way back somewhere. I sang with a group for over 15 years and sang everything from Acapella to Madrigal to swing to opera, jazz, and of course Polish..so when I heard your Acapella singers I was so pleased. My listeners call in and said your new CD "BUG BAND POLKA SWING" is a 10. I say it's a WINNER.
Good Luck,
