Raymond W. Dorschner was born on December 20, 1929, in Zittau, WI. Ray was largely self-taught on clarinet, saxophone, and trumpet and started his own polka band in 1950. Two of Ray’s brothers, Larry and Ted Jr., played in the band in the first years, and his three sons, Randy, Steve, and Jim all played in the band in later years. Ray led the band for over 60 years and was inducted into the Wisconsin and International Polka Halls of Fame.
Ray attended what is now UW-Oshkosh and the Institute of Paper Chemistry in Appleton. He was employed by Marathon Corporation as a testing lab technician and worked for the company for 40 years. In 1951, he married Donna Steffens and they remained together until Ray’s passing on June 11, 2019.
Pleasant Peasant was a 1950s - 1960s polka label from Minneapolis, MN, founded by C. B. Brown, who also ran the Lodestar label. Many of the recording artists were descendants of German and Czech immigrants living in the area to the west and southwest of Minneapolis/St. Paul, which included the town of New Ulm, “Polka Capital of the Nation.” [Note: Robert Schumann’s 1848 work, “Fröhlicher Landmann,” is often translated as “Pleasant Peasant.”]
