He was pretty near good enough to play on the Lawrence Welk Show.
Sorry for your loss.

Wow! While it may be a Slovenian polka, it sure reminds me of all the
Polish weddings and festivals I went to when we lived in Detroit, though
I don't remember anyone playing the buttonbox that well. Have another
plateful of kolduny and kielbasa while you catch your breath for the
next dance, and wash it down with plenty of wódka!

Cant forget the Kapusta...which is a Polish style of Sauerkraut, done
not as bitter, and with pieces of either chicken, Polish Sausage, or
liver...YUMMMMMMMMMM

He was very popular, and in my opinion ONLY....was far better caliber
than the Welk Show could catch.

Plattsburg Disaster is one of my favorites.

from a major awards show. (Grammy Awards??)

Say it ain't so.

Sadly, it's so.

As of 2009, "Best Polka Album" was dropped as a category.

Damned injustice I say.

Let's start a protest movement!!

SAVE THE POLKA ALBUM!!!

You can send your donations, cashier's checks only, made out to me and
I'll get the ball rolling.

Think of it as a stimulus package for polka lover's everywhere.

Here's some categories they can do without.

Best Classical Vocal Performance, Best Classical Performance, Operatic
or Choral, Best Opera Recording, Best Chamber Music Performance, Best
Classical Album, Best Classical Crossover Album.

Seriously, what the hell is Best Classical Crossover Album? Freestyle
rap of "Quanto un mortal può chiedere" from Verdi's "Alzira"?

Best Historical Album? WTH is best "historical" album? Reissues?

Pah....

It depends which type of Polka Category as well, Chicago, "Cleveland
Style", German, Polish, etc.etc.
LOL... Years ago, my kids bought a "Super Polkas" Album by Yankovic.
It's been passed around as the "green nylon socks" type gift at
Christmas since. Too dam funny.
