Jerry was inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame in 1997. Here is the brief bio recorded on his page:
"Jerry Dostal, known as “The King of Bohemian Music” started entertaining in the early 1930s and started his own eight member band.
The band entertained in many states and all over Minnesota, with the longest stint of playing every night for three months.
Jerry believes he was the first old-tyme band to use a sleeper bus, which he had built by a company in Chaska.
The Dostal Band did live broadcasts on many stations over the years and the band’s first recording, “PlaMor Waltz” was recorded in 1948.In 1940, Jerry and his wife, Ethel purchased the Swan Lake Pavilion on Silver Lake and later renamed it the Pla-Mor Ballroom.
