I've got a cassette tape of one of those holidays. There's a funny bit on it that sort of foreshadows my musical/audiophile nerddom: "...and here comes little Mark Saleski...". Uncle Stanley tried to get me to say something but all I wanted to do was play with the tape recorder and eat the microphone (I was not even two years old at the time).

So anyhoo...this here CD is worth definitely worth a listen or two if you've got any interest at all in the polka genre (heck, maybe even if you don't!) There's traditional polka, novelty tunes ("You Can't Teach The Japanese To Polka") and even some Tex-Mex. Good clean fun.

Well, we couldn't make it down to Greg and Carleen's for dinner (the wife was on call over the weekend), but something tells me we'll soon be sharing a few martinis with 'em along with the soothing sounds of Frankie Yankovic, Polkacide and Whoopee John Wilfahrt & His Concertina Band.
