1. I always used to carry a radio alarm clock with me when I travelled.

On my first visit to Santa Fe, in about 2005, I plugged in, turned on the alarm clock, and searched for an NPR station to wake up to in the morning.

The next morning I was awakened by polka music! A half hour of polka! It was simply the best way to start the day. I don't have any idea what stationed I'd connected to, and in subsequent visits either I couldn't find it, or it was no longer starting the day with polka.

You simply cannot be unhappy or sad listening to polka. Heck, if they decide to have a service for me after I die, I should suggest polka music.

2. Technical Question re: Carl Jularbo

I couldn't help but notice one of his songs is Nudist Polka yet he is not nude. Is that because OSHA regulations frown upon a squeezy instrument being deployed that close to a dangly instrument?

4. You really can't go wrong with Whoppee John

Have Delaware’s Polka Clown and Al Franken ever been in the same room at the same time? Whether it was “Gay Time Polka” or not.

5. Your collection isn't complete without some "Weird Al" Yankovic

6. Out of all your selections, I'd have to go with Dracula Cha-Cha

The hook for me is that the words and music are by Rod McKuen - anybody called "the King of Kitsch" has to be brilliant with polka.

But the choice of Weird Al's polka album is very tempting. Too bad it's too old to include this song:
