Thanks for the info, olddude. I never even heard of Dyngus Day before.

Thought I would catch a polka on this video:

but they seem to be playing Cajun music.


Q. This being Buffalo, do they have to polka in the snow?

Yeah.....When I was with Airtex Cleveland was part of my territory and I mentioned to enjoy gettin' pretty drunk a couple of time on Dyngus day. I had a customer who was poish (not hard to find in Cleveland) and if you were one of his supplier reps and didn't show up and party with him, you were off the list. I brought a VP the first year I was there and we knocked the other pump supplier out of the warehouse.....and this was a big account.

One of the professors that taught Computer Science with me at the University was from India. One day he came into my office wearing a polish club jacket .. He EARNED it ... you know how many beers you had to pound down in one sitting at the polish club to earn a jacket .. I know some of the polish profs took him there. They said yup he did it ..

Can you suggest any really good Polish bands? I grew up in Milwaukee, and I miss the music of my childhood.

I really like their music Leeneia, those guys are all in the Buffalo Musician's hall of fame and they can cook for sure. The sound reminds me of New Orleans Jazz improv with a polish twist. cool stuff

Thanks for the links.

Here's a favorite of mine. Notice the bluesy notes of the 1949 Czech original.
