You have to be way more of a snob than I can possibly handle not to think that a little polka once in a while is fun. Don’t laugh — I’ve met a few people in my peer group or there abouts who appreciate a little Jimmy Sturr (who’s won more Grammys than Madonna) or Frank Yankovic (one of the legends of the genre). My wife, with more time on her hands than Tivo choices decided the Big Joe Polka Show was a good option for the evenings entertainment last night. Today, she wrote about it and you’ll entertain yourself to read it.

Mark Bialczak, the music writer for The Post-Standard in Syracuse, has a polka named for him. “Bialczak’s Polka” is one way the newspaper can reach out to an audience in an unconventional medium.
