Listen to Backbeat this week to find out why an accordion player known as the Polka King of Milwaukee is considered by some to be one of the "Fathers of Rock & Roll"! You'll also hear early recordings by Jimmy Witherspoon, Mable Smith (before she was Big Maybelle), Jewel Akens, and Doctor Ross. Backbeat is always lively, always fun and usually has some surprises.
