;D...... Gypsy orchestral music is in my blood and was typical fare on Sundays during my childhood (60's & 70's)in central NJ.
A local radio station, WCTC featuring radio host Pete Kara, would air the Hungarian Hour at noon...which coincided with the time when many refugees (from the '56 Hungarian Revolution) returned home from Sunday religious services and were preparing to sit down for a traditional brunch with family and friends.
FWIW...Here is a link to the first eight minutes of one of the existing online recordings just before ceasing production in 11/22/1992

In my case due to the then heavy Polish presence in Reading (especially East Reading) Sunday mornings after church mom would make scrapple sandwiches (the nearly perfect food group) and listen to Jack Walters Polka Party on 1240 WHUM.

The Polka hour followed tge Hungarian hour every Sunday on WCTC as well. Wonder if the programming was from the same source.
