We wanted to tell you how our grandchildren and our daughter (Kathy) enjoyed your performances at the Carlin Club Oktoberfest. Little Marin was beside herself with joy and when we played the CD we had bought the next day at home, she wouldn't stop dancing. She even tried to yodel. Her Mom has to play the CD in the car whenever they go anywhere. We are happy that our grandchildren will follow in our footsteps and enjoy the great polka/waltz music of our heritage.                                                                                                                                                                                        Best regards,                                                                                                                                                                                       George and Kathy Flotz (Your Landsleut)     Just wanted to tell you how much fun the Oktoberfest (Carlin Lake Lodge) was. We came back the second weekend because we had such a good time. I think I became an expert on the Schnitzlebank song! Thanks for the great time..  - John Desmond      LaCrosse, Wisc.       Dear Johnny and Crew,  I had the pleasure of hearing you play last summer at the Carlin when I was a waiter. I want to make it back up to Wisconsin for this year's festivities.  Oh, and I must pass this along as well. I was in Munich two weeks ago, and the house band at the Hofbrahaus paled in comparison to the Johnny Wagner Band. You play more instruments, play more difficult and varied music and generally are better showmen and entertainers. The biggest disappointment was the total absence of alphorn or cowbells.   Thanks, Eric     Mr. Wagner, Downers Grove sends a big thank you! The quality of The Johnny Wagner Band's performance at Heritage Festival was a big plus to the success of our event. Festival goers who attend your show really enjoyed themselves. We strive to secure a variety of entertainment to satisfy our diverse crowd. Your performance certainly filled that bill. Thanks again and we look forward to working with you in the near future. - Heritage Festival: Village of Downers Grove     Dear Johnny and Band, Thank you for a job well done, we always enjoyed your music.
