Do you have a favorite polka band?

I know it sounds silly.

I do like some of Romy Gosz's stuff.

Seriously, though, I wish I did have a favorite Polka band. I know it was part of the culture on my father's side of the family. My father I've heard even played the accordion.

I caught her show one late night on RFD. Caught her show at a local hall about a year and a half ago. She does vocals, and plays the accordion, keyboard, and the saxophone

Here she is teaching the Polka "hop"
