PS: I forgot to mention that the site you mentioned, or else another you might enjoy , is the Nostradamus Polka page (nostradamus.net), which features reviews of polka recordings from around the world, as well as essays and discussions on polka music and its place in the world by me and many others active in this music. I think that Nostradamus' page is the most culturally-oriented,informative (and hence overall the best) polka site in existence. ---And yes, McGrath of H, that other youtube clip you found was me 20 years ago ---by comparing it with the Palin one we did last week you can see what the ravages of time can do to a person ( ^-^ ) ---Oh, yes, and by using the same youtube title, "Happy Harmony Boys," our band's name back then, you can also see our cross-over hit "Maurice, Don't Do That", which was popular in the the polka and Cajun fields and won us a U.S. Polka Association no. 1 song of the year award and a Grammy nomination in the polka field ( Yes, these things do exist ).My friend and partner at the time, Charlie H, sang that "biggie" while I played the concertina and did a little "BS"ing at the end -:)Thanks again for taking interest in our alt/music world. Best, Joe R
