TEXAS DANCEHALL STANDARDS: Paul Barsch & his Orchestra / Picnic in the Woods Polka / Sarg / 1960s

Paul Walter Barsch Sr. was born in Gonzales, TX, on July 12, 1898, to German immigrant John von Peter Barsch and his second wife, Eva Nebergall. Paul’s younger siblings were Hulda and Max; his half siblings Marie Louise and Otto were born in Germany, and twenty years his senior. In 1920 Paul was living in New Braunfels where he married Hedwig Alma Bergemann (1897-1953), with whom he had two daughters (Laura and Paula) and two sons (Arthur and Paul Jr.). Paul became a self-employed upholsterer and caner, and played the drums in his band, “Paul Barsch & his Twilight Orchestra.” A 1949 newspaper clipping described it as the “well-known band of San Antonio.” Paul advertised his services as an upholsterer and as a bandleader in the 1950s up until 1970. His wife Hedwig died in 1953 and he married Laura Adela Wesch (1917-1977) in 1955. They had no children together. In the early 1960s the Twilight Orchestra recorded three singles for the Sarg label of Luling, and over the years included in its membership: Winfred Dreyer, Robert Govier Jr. (saxophone), Max Richter (trumpet), Gus Dedeke (clarinet), Louis Schlater, Gary Schwab, Willie Hoffmann, Harold Soefie, Jesse Wurzlow (tuba), and Paul Barsch Sr. (drums) [instrument noted if known]. Paul Barsch passed away on February 26, 1975, at the age of 76, and was buried in the Comal Cemetery in New Braunfels, on the banks of the Comal River.
