Before a tragic accident prematurely ended his career, Lou Rosenberger was one of Western Pennsylvania’s most talented and best-loved Cleveland-Style musicians. Playing professionally since high school, Lou joined Fred Gregorich and the Del Fi’s Orchestra in 1964, helping them become one of Western Pennsylvania’s most popular and musically-respected orchestras. Fred cites Lou as the driving force behind the Del Fi’s recordings and credits him with inspiring the musical ideas that made "Cheeze and Crackers" one of their greatest hits. Touring Slovenia in 1971 with Gregorich, Father George Balasko, Millie Smolkovich and sister Francka Sylvester, Lou conceived many of the elements that evolved into the Polka Mass. Colorful, creative and always dependable, Lou threw himself totally into Cleveland-Style music.
