From Plain, Wisconsin, in the Driftless Area. In 1948, Harlan Fingerhut and Joe Wankerl started playing with the Badger Valley Boys, a band that played for WWCF radio station out of Baraboo. Being of an innovative nature, these two musicians decided to form their own local band and soon, with several friends, they were beating out polkas, waltzes, and country western tunes. Harlan Fingerhut played the drums, Joe Wankerl the tuba, Kenneth Rieder the accordion, LeRoy Walters the trumpet, Dick Strait, vocals, guitar, or banjo, and Hank Dederick trumpet, tuba, or base guitar; a formidable group!
Their most requested song, "E-I-O Polka," was recorded in 1967 and crossed the ocean to Bavaria. In 1971 (recorded in 1970), this outgoing group cut their first album, "Saturday Night with the Plain Hot Shots," at the Sauk City recording studio. The popularity of their infectious rhythm won wide recognition and soon they were taking in larger areas, traveling to La Crosse, Madison, and Waunakee.
