Matt Hodek and the Dakota Dutchmen have been playing since 2004. Since then, they’ve kept a very busy schedule of appearances, playing in ten states. Joining us today on Polka Profiles is bandleader Matt Hodek from Lankin, ND.

On this edition of Rasslin Memories, George Schire and Glen Braget are so very pleased to welcome former female professional wrestler Dawn Lemke. Dawn, or Donna, Lemke first broke into the pro wrestling in 1971 and along the way worked here, there and everywhere with the likes of Kay Noble and Vivian Vachon. Aside from her own career in the ring, Donna was , for the better part of the 1970s, the girlfriend of one “American Dream” Dusty Rhodes. Dawn shares her life with Dusty as well as some great stories about the boys who The Dream worked and played with in the AWA back in the early 70’s. AWA fans, you don’t want to miss this one!!!
