It's kind of neat to look back and see the old ones who got through their very hard jobs in the mills and mines by coming home to sing and dance, no matter how tired they were. The music made life bearable for them.

Congresswoman Helen Delich Bentley is in this film, and the "Bill Salatich" that they mention was then the President of Gilette Corporation, North America.

I went w/a Croatian lady to folk dancing lessons provided by an urban parks department. Other than getting wrapped up in a curtain when I spun too fast, it was a lot of fun! (My husband still ribs me about that. Needless to say, he didn’t participate.) :)

So. Chicago ftw! This is my old neighborhood, and the Popovich Brothers were friends with my Grandpa. They even played at his house for Slava one year. My family went and screened this at The Art Institute in Chicago when it was first released. Lots of good memories here! :)
