With love and happiness emanating from his accordion, Louie Bajc carried a torch for Cleveland-style music throughout his life. As a youth, Louie sang and danced in native Slovenian garb and mastered the button box, accordion and bass. The Louie Bajc Orchestra had its own weekly radio show in Ashtabula. Louie predominated and inspired Slovenian culture in the Painesville/Fairport area. He was the "resident musician" of the American-Slovenian Club in Fairport Harbor, Ohio, and accompanied The Geneva Grape Dancers as musical director. For a time he was the featured accordionist and singer with the Frankie Kramer Orchestra. Louie composed several songs including "Little Lou's Polka" and was best known for his rendition of "Al’ Me Bos Kaj Rada ‘Mela".
