Thread Name: Folk Music from Wisconsin
Subject: RE: Folklore: Folk Music from Wisconsin
My brother was a music promoter/booking agent in Milwaukee until he hit the age of 40 and decided he was too old for rock'n'roll. He says that even the punk rock bands in Milwaukee do polkas - it's the only way they can get wedding gigs. Now that he's almost 60, he's getting back into music (but in Florida, where half of Wisconsin moves to when they get old).
