EDDIE B.GONE!!! THAT DAY THE MUSIC DIED.

What an awesome musical legacy, he left! Not enough words in the dictionary to describe Eddie B and his wonderful contributions to the Polka industry! I LOVED his honky!!! When he got on drums the room lit up and the snare drum beat got into your very soul and made you want to get up and dance and burst with excitement!! Thank you Eddie for all the wonderful music you provided over the years and the dances we all attend and celebrated like one family!! RIP my good friend you got some wonderful people up there with you. Say hello to Lil Wally and Jenette, Eddie Zima and Casey Siewerski and all the Brothers of the Note for me! I miss them all!!

The very first time I heard Eddie and his band was on a Sunday at Club Antoinette on the corner of 46th and Richmond in 1973. An unforgettable event in my life AZ couple of months before his passing, I shook his hand at Gendora. I have been and will continue to be one of his most avid fans. He was an ambassador for Polish Music. He will always live through his music. Anyone who saw him play had a smile on their face and nodded their head "Yeah"

You will be truly missed!!

Eddie, as a bandleader myself and hosting a polka show for almost 30 years, your music was the most requested Polish style of all those years. I especially received many requests from Armstrong Creek Wisconsin where the folks there told me you grew up in that area. My wife and I wanted to have you play for our wedding, but you were booked far in advance of our wedding day plans. Keep that good Polish style music going up there in Heaven Eddie...

Eddie you were the best! I hope my family and all your many fans in heaven are welcoming you. You will be missed. Until we meet again.

To the man who we will always look up to as having the greatest influence on us with his music and true friendship. We will never forget the memories of just getting to see you and hear you sing. We love and miss you Eddie B. "Big Moose" & Patty Rosana

Eddie: You are the reason our family loves this music so much. You created something very special, something we couldn't help but love. Every upcoming recording kept us anxious to hear, and left us hungry for more. Our girls grew up loving your music as much as Dan and I do, and for that we are grateful. You always made everyone around you feel accepted, happy, and you kept us laughing and smiling. Your friendship was genuine and special to everyone. Your family sacrificed being with you so your countless fans could be blessed with your wonderful talents, and for that we will always be deeply grateful. And your voice--there will NEVER be another one like it! You've left a huge void in the Polka Field, but not in our hearts, because we will never stop missing and loving you. The Mateja Family

Miss you Eddie.

Idz Z Bogiem, Edziu! Our loss is heaven's gain. You gave so much to so many and in return you received love, admiration and respect from your many friends and colleagues. Thank for sharing your talents and life's work leaving a wonderful legacy of happiness for us all.
