Dear Barry,

My uncle Wally was my father's first cousin.  His full name was Wallace Balicki and he was the nephew of my paternal grandmother, Wanda Balicki. 

I would like to find some of uncle Wally's music.  He was a gifted clarinet player and he and his band played at my first wedding in 1975.  It was a real first -- listening to a polka band try to play Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven," the song that I and my first husband requested.  But what did we know?

I have many fond memories of my uncle and my grandmother's family as I was growing up.  I really would be interested in any information that you might be able to provide.
