Polka by Larry Chesky (1986)

The first of at least 2 VHS tapes put together by Larry Chesky and His Orchestra. Building off of Frank Knight's "Polka" of WHYN-TV 40 from October of 1967 to March of 1980, and subsequently on Continental Cablevision during the 1980s, Chesky's VHS is a mixture of straightforward cable-access quality concerts, music video montages, and a collection of news stories about his nomination to the International Polka Hall of Fame in Chicago. Contains many scenes of Mountain Park, the Chicopee Kielbasa Festival, Springfield's Campanile, and other shots of the Pioneer Valley.
Produced by Larry Chesky under Chesko Video Enterprises, directed by videographer William C. Koczocik (later worked as a producer at WTNH-TV).
