ENTERTAI NMENT!
The musical family goes back to grandfather, Leonard Hecker, who was born in
Russia and migrated to the U.S. with his
parents. He started a band in the .1920's
in the Dickin5on, ND area and daughter
Margaret played piano. For fMargaret,
the years brought marriage to Joseph
Tibor, children, and hard times, but always enough money to buy musical instruments for the children. To supplement the family income, Margaret took
the five oldest children and played for
church socials. They called themselves

Charlie, and Jerome have gone on to
other professions. However, all nine
brothers still perform together for
special shows and Bernie played
accordian for several numbers on this
album. For Francis, Gerard, Harvey,
Kurt, and Larry, entertainment is their
livelihood.
ln 1976 a new dimension was added to
their music business with the creation
of Jol\4ar Recording Studio at
Hebron,
ND. Their first album at JoMar was "A

At the age of five, with a new accordian
and lessons from Mother, Joey began
his musical career. Now at the age of
19, the lessons from Mother and Emil
Dockter are behind him, and Joey,s
future does indeed look bright! Already
to his credit are several appearances on
the Lawrence Welk Show and his first
