Gorse's Tavern was the scene of many polka jam sessions. Eddie owned the tavern, on the marginal of Route 90, in Euclid, Ohio, for 20 years, and played his accordion every night. At midnight, musicians would drop in after playing engagements to unwind and jam. He wrote several popular polkas, including "Lake Erie Polka," recorded by Kenny Bass, and "Pine Tree Polka" recorded by Johnny Vadnal and Frankie Kramer. Eddie was a partner with John Gayer, when Delta International Records was started.
