The River Boys:
| Bob Schmer - Accordion Joe Herman - Dulcimer |

Bob Schmer began playing accordion when he was twelve. He learned to play Dutch Hop tunes by ear from older Nebraska musicians. In his earlier band, the Polka Playboys, Bob played with the late Albert Fahlbusch, winner of a 1984 National Endowment for the Arts National Heritage Fellowship for both building and playing the hammered dulcimer. The Playboys received a Nebraska Governor’s Arts Award in 1992. Both Dave Beitz and Steve Deines come from families of Dutch Hop musicians, and Dave writes original tunes in the tradition. Steve and Jerry Hergenreder add vocals to some of the numbers. The families and friends of the band have kindly consented to demonstrate the authentic Dutch Hop dance step. All of the River Boys are veteran musicians whose love for the music and skill in performing it are readily apparent.
