Lou Trebar

Lou Trebar (1926 - 2008) was a chromatic accordion player mostly known for his 25-year association with Johnny Pecon. He also played aside Joey Miskulin in their "Mis-Tre" orchestra from 1978 to 1984, recording two albums.

More than any Cleveland-Style musician, Lou Trebar took the initiative and played a leading role in developing the waltz companion to Cleveland-style polkas. Lou adapted and arranged waltzes drawing from the portfolios of Strauss, famous American composers such as Victor Herbert and Vincent Youmans, and Dr. William J. "Doc" Lausche, thus earning the title of "Waltz King".
