Frank Mauer's polka playing career started in Cleveland in 1950, with the Kenny Bass band, as one of the lead accordionists, along with Dick Sodja.  In 1954, he joined Al Tercek, where he was the accordionist for 40 years.  The Tercek band played polka music and often was the back-up band for rising popular music stars.  Frank and the Tercek band played for Elvis Presley and Bobby Vinton, among others, at dances hosted by disc jockey Bill Randle.  Frank can be heard on recordings with the Kenny Bass band and Al Tercek.  He is retired from playing in a band, but still plays for his own enjoyment.
