♫ “Medley: Emilia’s / Always In The Way / Helena†by The Stanislawski Polka Band (with Walt Solek)
The laughter-only verses in “Emilia’s†(0:32 & 1:18) always get me, especially when the second one goes off the rails. “Always In The Way†(1:51) has a surprising topic for a polka. And “Helena†is “cute and gayâ€.
♫ “Poolside Polka†by Rotondi
“Love is in your eyes, and the streets are / awash with new chlorineâ€
I drew a Before Sleep strip of the chorus:
♫ “Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain Polka” by The Chicago Town Polka Band
♫ Music for careening into the holidays: “Domino Polka” by Ray Henry and His Orchestra.
♫ Music for tomorrow’s Pickle Festival: “Pickle & Peppers Polka” by Polka Generations (you know you love it).
