SIX FAT DUTCHMEN

THE SIX FAT DUTCHMEN wurden 1932 von Harold Loeffelmacher in der
deutschen Gemeinde von New Ulm, Minnesota, gegründet. Zwischen 1942
und 1959 waren sie bei RCA Victor, nahmen aber danach noch bis in die
70er Jahre ihre Polkas und deutschstämmigen Songs auf zig Singles
und LPs auf.

Hier aus 1956 ihre "Schnitzelbank" mit deutschem Refrain von
BERNIE NENTL, der jüdischen Ursprungs gewesen sein mag.

1949

Kurz-Bio:
Der Gründer der Six Fat Dutchmen Harold Loeffelmacher wurde am 4. März 1905 auf einem Bauernhof in der Nähe von Fort Ridgely im Nicollet County, Minnesota, geboren. Später zog die Familie nach New Ulm, Minnesota, wo er am 30. Jänner 1988 82-jährig verstarb. Sein erstes Instrument war die Geige, die er bei einem lutherischen Pfarrer, der Musikstunden gab, erlernte und 1932 gründete er seine eigene Band, die vorerst verschiedene Namen hatte, bis man sich auf den Namen Six Fat Dutchmen einigte. Das waren sechs Musiker mit Harold Loeffelmacher zusätzlich als Leiter. Im Laufe der Jahre änderte sich die Besetzung auch mehrmals.
