Tribute to Dale Pexa on Old Tyme 1-3 Tuesday and Wednesday

Dale Pexa Sr., 73, of Elko, passed away on Sunday. He was a farmer, cement contractor and loved music. He formed the Dale Pexa Band in 1963. He was a popular artist on our KDHL Old Tyme music shows, so we will be paying tribute to him on May 12 and 13 by playing a number of his songs during the Old Tyme show with Kelly from 1-3PM.

Pexa's obituary said that he loved to sit and write music, and loved to entertain. He was a member of the Czech Area Concertina Club and was inducted into the World Concertina Hall of Fame. He was a great people person. Our condolences go out to his wife, Fran, and all of his family.
