Freddie Fisher's "Schnickelfritz" band achieved much success in the 1930's touring nationally and appearing in this 1938 movie "Gold Diggers in Paris" starring Rudy Valee. They also produced a number of recordings for the Decca label.

Freddie Fisher was born in Lourdes, Iowa and grew up in the nearby town of Garnavillo. He was a nephew to my grandmother, Mayme Fisher Prochaska.

A sample of his music can be heard HERE
