  2. Was Lenny maybe from Bavaria???
    I once was at a company meeting from Ingo´s and they had an "Oktoberfest"- theme. Same tune!
    Beer, please (but no Weizen). Prost, to a happy weekend!

  3. This makes me smile. My mom was a polka queen. I grew up listening to them, and boy could she dance to them too. Now I didn't know there was a state polka though. Fun. Stay warm. It's only 2 here at my house this morning.

    1. Yeah, they do. Probably why they are so easy to dance to. 😺

    1. 😺I wonder if there are any sad polkas? Maybe the Too Fat Polka "I don't want her you can have her. She's too fat for me."
