Google "Polkaholics" and "Polkacide" -- happy reading.

When you were a kid, did your grandmother ever watch Polka Varieties on the only TV in the house when you were desperate to watch the Saturday morning monster movie?

Did you watch along out of sheer boredom?

Thanks for bringing back the trauma, Wendell. Thanks.

I sure hope I run into an understanding partner at Mon nite dance class who'll help me improve my polka technique between now and next October. I've gotten a little more confident, but we Southern boys do not grow up doing this, and I've come to the polka rather late.

I love Polkacide. Their twentieth anniversary show was one of the funner shows I've been to- there was still a polka mosh pit, sure, but now folks are in their 30s and 40s and up, so it was a mellow, friendly mosh pit, lest one's beer get spilled.
