TEXAS DANCEHALL STANDARDS: Lee Roy Matocha / Roaring Mountain Polka (Zahučely Hory) / 1960s

Known in Czech as ‘Zahučely Hory’ (The mountains roared), ‘Roaring Mountain Polka’ is a lament for lost youth, which is belied by the up-tempo beat. Matocha sings the first verse two times; it approximates this lyric: Zahučely hory, zahučely lesy, Kam jste se poděli, kam jste se poděli, moje mladé časy? The mountains roared, the forests roared, Where did you go, where did you go, my young days? Lee Roy Matocha was born in Plum, TX, and began playing accordion in his uncle Zbranek’s band in 1947 at the age of 14. He joined the Lee Ilse Orchestra in 1952 as a musician, singer, and later band manager. His vocals were featured on many of the band’s recordings for Bess Records and Hummingbird. When Lee Ilse retired in 1964, Lee Roy formed his own orchestra from the remaining members of the Ilse group, touring and recording extensively. Matocha also tape-recorded radio shows of polka band music which broadcast on several different radio stations of south-central Texas from the 1960s until his death. Lee Roy retired from performing in 1998 and passed away in 2003.
