    When I was a kid we had a polka Mass every week!!! I had a polka band at my wedding!! Cleveland had (and still has) lots of polka music. On Sundays I think you can still catch polka music on the radio!! Its fun :D :D

    I need to make a CD of the music from that kid's album. Send to Noah in Japan. He can play it right after his CD of polkas.

    DD has a video of him clapping and dancing to the polkas.

    When they lived with us, very Sunday hubby put the polkas on and he would take the baby and bounce him on his knee and clap his hands in time to the music. Noah loved it! We used to laugh at the two of them with the big smiles on their faces.

    How I miss him! (only 5 more months and they will be stateside! It looks like Vegas!)

    Hey- Terri- did you sing John Jacob Jingleheimerschmitt to the girls? Or- on top of spaghetti?

    We still have polka masses here and on public tv every Sat. night is polkas- with our Register of Wills as hostess. It comes on after the hour of local ballroom dancing.

    Your hubby looks like my cousin with her collection of squeeze boxes! My mom played the button box. Me, I am a wonderful audience!

    Polka dancing is "easier than falling off a log" I can remember a New Years Dance...had new shoes...wore the soles thru that night...Polkas & Square dancing keeps one very young
