	6:13pm Healing Slav: How do you say 'A victory for the unborn!' in Polish? I'm sure most of these artists would have been cheering this past week!!
	6:14pm (Murakami Whywolf))): Is it about a guy who's too short? I hear complaint and 'kratkoi', and 'kratkoya' is 'short' in Russian….
	6:15pm thin slice: Are these pre-WW2? Recorded in Poland?
	6:16pm dale: i have the album 'jerry lewis - just sings' and it's supposed to be him TRYING to sing well. it's not that far off from this.
	6:17pm billyLondon: Thanks for providing the polka party Joe!
	6:17pm morphe': Last night a genuine Mariachi band played in Bryant Park - polkas included .. Polka was international in the 40s???? My mother was born in rural Ireland in 1930 and loved Polkas???

	6:18pm JeremyB: I like it!
	6:19pm ParUbi: Quality tuneage!
	6:19pm ek: Healing Slav, am with you on that sentiment.
	👻 6:19pm tim from washington: morphe' - I could be wrong but I think the polka cross-polination happened due to a world's fair in the late 19th century.
	6:19pm ParUbi: Hello Joe, hi everyone! How’s Bryce?
	6:20pm dale: double dip after dark?
	6:20pm Richard S: Is it suddenly Saturday morning? This sounds like Double Dip Recess!
	6:21pm morphe': Tim = Chicago? That would make sense with the Polish Pop. there ... Ireland had the squeeze box so the accordion spooned followed..
	6:21pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: I'm quite turned around and upside down,.
	👻 6:22pm chresti: Hi Joe and surface dancers!
	6:22pm ::::: Hey, where'd the lyrics go? Two oh one three eight oh, one oh four three
	6:22pm Dr. Jobygaxx: Thanks, I was just thinking I never hear this so clean bc DDR uses it for bed music.
	6:22pm Carmichael: Opie Cunningham ...
	👻 6:23pm LastWhiteRhino: Whistler's Mother's Day Greetings.
	6:23pm diciassette: Ahoy! I'll bet you're whistling along to this innit
	6:23pm dale: there ARE lyrics to this song.... Well now, take down your fishing pole And meet me at the fishing hole We may not get a bite all day But don't you rush away What a great place to rest your bones And mighty fine for skipping stones You'll feel fresh as a lemonade a-setting in the shade
	6:23pm Dr. Jobygaxx: And "The Fishing Hole" was my first, incorrect guess after 3 notes of "The Happy Whistler"...
	6:23pm morphe': Andy Griffith...
	6:23pm Joe McG: Whistle along at home!
	6:23pm Rock Ridge Chess Club: This is currently being blasted out onto a mountainside in Boone NC. One can only hope the neighbors are pleasantly confused.
	👻 6:24pm LastWhiteRhino: I need to wet my whistle after that.
	6:24pm Carmichael: They think you have Nick at Nite on.
	6:25pm Richard S: What's next, yodeling???
	👻 6:25pm LastWhiteRhino: Got any knuckle-cracking tunes, Joe ?
	6:26pm dale: i'll bet session whistlers get a lot of free drinks and tail.
	6:26pm (((Murakami Whywolf): tim from washington: I'm not sure: there were suddenly a _lot_ of Poles (well, Polish Russians back then) and other Central European people in the U.S. back then, and they weren't working 100% of their waking hours, even though Carnegie and Mellon et al probably would've wanted them to be so; there were a lot of Czechs in Texas. They weren't all dancing the waltz. It's entirely possible there was a lot of polka around but the whitest people didn't know about it until some break-out event, just as the vary gay and black disco scene was huge in N.Y. and San Francisco for years but it took "Saturday Night Fever" for most of America to know [a somewhat bastardised version of ]it.
	6:26pm Carmichael: This dude's got the pipes ...
	6:26pm Micheal: We’re all whistling here, Joe! Excellent!
	6:27pm Vanessa bikes: yay whistle practice love it
	👻 6:27pm tim from washington: @Murakami - good points! There was a sizable 19th century German immigration to Mexico. Oompa and polka aren't too different.
	👻 6:28pm LastWhiteRhino: Hitting AC on Tuesday baby ! Let the good times roll.
	6:29pm Richard S: (((Murakami Whywolf) and tim from washington: There was a significant effort by Germans to settle in Texas in the early-mid 1800s. That might explain the similarities between polka and mariachi music...
	6:29pm ek: Habsburgs had ties to Mexico too.
	6:30pm ek: Habsburgs had ties to Mexico too.
	6:30pm ?: Reminds me of Säkkijärven polka!
	6:31pm thin slice: My intro to polka and conjunto and norteño was Brave Combo concerts in the 80s and 90s. They just mixed it all together. So much fun
	6:31pm yippie: I was born in Atlantic City
	6:31pm Asheville Jon: i'd rather play the Theremin
	6:31pm dale: only the cool children.
	6:32pm Carmichael: I was born to accord.
	6:32pm Miss G: Ask ANY child, what instrument they'd like to play! Accordion!
	6:32pm Danne D: Miss America saved best for last obv
	6:32pm dale: myron floren was probably considered a god to 70 year old women. and rightfully so.
	👻 6:33pm tim from washington: Roll over Chuck Berry and tell Carl Perkins the news! Accordians are in, electric guitars are out.
	6:33pm diciassette: Good grief. Does anybody want this electric bass?
	6:33pm dale: she's tearing it a new bellows!
	👻 6:34pm LastWhiteRhino: Squeezebox perfection !
	6:34pm Asheville Jon: i'm sure there were places in america at the time, where kids really did want to play the accordion.
	6:35pm Danne D: Stashu is our Miss America :)
	6:35pm Carmichael: Speed metal accordion.
	👻 6:35pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: My MOM played accordion in high school! For reals! She gave it away when my Mom got remarried and we moved. I can still see it in my mind's eye though!
	6:36pm Richard S: Video of that Lorna Anderson performance: www.youtube.com...
	6:36pm dale: my wife wanted one 20 years ago. i bought her two. she's barely touched them.
	6:36pm Joe McG: @Richard S: Ooh, that's great, thanks for posting!
	👻 6:36pm Threemoons 🌛🌕🌜: Mom's was this huge sparkly red thing with white buttons....
	6:37pm Asheville Jon: may i recommend an Eddie Layton & Dick Contino album for your pleasure www.youtube.com...
	6:37pm dale: we have the red sparkly hohner threemoons.
	6:38pm dale: it's not polka, but i can hear thumbs carlisle doing caravan after this.
	6:39pm (Murakami Whywolf))): dale: Is cannabis legal in your state? Many a woman (and man) has found their resistance to accordioning reduced by what I gather The Kids call 'The Natural Mister', 'Roofer', and (of course) 'Muggles of Med Mock'.
	6:40pm Richard S: Eddie "The King of the Hammond Organ" Layton AND Dick "Mr. Accordion" Contino? SIGN ME UP!
	6:40pm Carmichael: I have a Hohner squeezbox (concertina). I'm not very good.
	👻 6:40pm tim from washington: You sure this isn't a Gus Bodenheimski production?
	6:41pm Saltonstall: This guy has got the same inflection and cadence as Stashu
	6:41pm Asheville Jon: Eddie Layton is awesome, and has some fantastic organ lp's
	6:42pm ek: Sounds like Gus alright
	6:42pm dday: Hi Joe. Poking the pinups I see :)
	6:44pm Asheville Jon: this is so risqué!
	6:44pm Mokka Matti: Oh, no Stashu again. Welp, I guess it's a good thing I'm working and I can't listen.
	6:44pm dale: whywolf - i will look up those accordian songs!
	6:44pm Miss G: Joe, I am really shocked! Queenie the Cutie, I wish that were my nickname
	👻 6:45pm LastWhiteRhino: This is rather Jim Berle-esque.
	👻 6:45pm DjLorraine: So exciting!
	6:45pm dday: The cats are amazingly nonplussed with this playing
	👻 6:46pm tim from washington: Uh, Joe, I don't think it's technically 'safe harbor' hours. Ixnay on the strippingski songskis!
	6:46pm Carmichael: Jean Claude's brother.
	6:46pm Saltonstall: FCC is gonna come knocking. This is filth polka!
	6:47pm Saltonstall: Porno Polka
	👻 6:47pm tim from washington: Hey Saltonstall!
	6:47pm dday: I keep picking up my piano & squeezing it but never get that accordion sound. Is it my technique? My back hurts
	6:48pm TroyD8: Great job spinning the tunes today Joe!
	👻 6:48pm tim from washington: dday - use your shoulders not your back.
	6:49pm dday: Thank you Tim :)
	6:49pm Carmichael: Here you go: www.gofundme.com...
	6:50pm Joe McG: Ah, thanks! We love Bryce, so we want to help him out.
	👻 6:51pm chresti: It's Orson Welles' birthday!
	6:51pm Queenie G: What fun Joe McG! Thank you for all the high powered fun! Wow look at Bryce's GoFundMe page, getting better all the time! Listeners will keep going, I'm sure!
	👻 6:51pm tim from washington: Sounds like Joe Princie has a wandering eye.
	6:52pm Saltonstall: @tim I was just in Kalamazoo the other day- Satellite Records, Tiffany’s, Crows Nest, Michigan News Agency, Jacks Party Store. All the top tourist destinations
	6:52pm Joe McG: @tim: Ewwww!
	6:52pm van chinski: Donated. Hope things get better soon for Bryce.
	6:52pm (((Murakami Whywolf): "My Mother-in-Law" is also known as "The Rule 34 Polka".
	6:53pm Richard S: If Bryce's GoFundMe hits six million dollars, can we get the bionic upgrade?
	6:53pm Queenie G: Thank you chresti! Maybe tonight's a good night for one of my favorite films, "Touch of Evil."
	6:53pm Joe McG: Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there...especially mine!
	👻 6:54pm tim from washington: @Saltonstall - How's the News Agency holding up these days? That place (and Jack's) is a real gem.
	👻 6:54pm Ken From Hyde Park: Thanks, Joe. Up next is Joe Block. Whoops, wait. Billy Jam.
