How can we explain to our children what it was like to grow up in the joy of such a beautiful time when this culture was such a big part of your life? We grew up on the Southwest side of Chicago, enjoyed this kind of entertainment always, weddings, a child's birthday, a first Holy Communion, whatever, did't need a reason to have a polka party, but it was fun for everyone and brought all together in smiles with dancing, golumpki, cheese blintzes floating in melted butter, home-made Polish Sausage, sauerkraut, fresh home-made bread (my mom made the best of heavens' fresh bread and butter was unforgettable!) . All had their fill...Plum Pierogi with cinnamon and butter and sugar... and all covered in beautiful happy Polkas to chase the blues away no matter what. You always had a great time, met with old friends many large families and always found new friends. Maybe at Polonia Grove on Archer Avenue, many local veterans halls, sometimes outdoors or in... Yugoslav Hall on 56th & Narraganset... all over the neighborhood, or Cook County or Chicago Park districts never expensive, but alwsys fun...on Sunday mornings after Mass, there was a Polish am radio station broadcasting Polkas and local events in Polish, many knew then. Oh I wish for a time machine to share this kind of happiness the world needs today. But we do have, thankfully, some out there who share similar stories from all over and preserve bits and pieces of them for us here, for that, we are grateful. Be happy, not offended, laugh at yourself first, always remember your good fortune in humility and share all with others, know true blessings when you see them and thank our good Lord for each.

Thank you , Thank you's ☺️
I love polka music my favorite one from Frankie is the Blue Skirt Waltz why haven't I seen the Big Joe Polka show on Rfd tv? I like Big Joe I'd also like to see the Polka it's Kim
FRANK HAS THE BEST SOLO ACCORDIONIST IN THE WORLD , PLAYING NEXT TO HIM ? I AM SURPRICE THAT NO BODY MENTION HIS NAME ? FOR ME HE IS THE BETTER THAN ANY OTHER ACCORDIONIST THAT I KNOW ?
5:45 -- My Mary Polka. 👍 27:34 -- Broken Reed Polka on the Button Box - 😀 Sweet Heaven! Omari -- I can see how they say it's Slovenians' 2nd national anthem, with the riffs around 53:00 & vocal expression would have people running to the dance floor.
That’s one of the first times I saw you sort of ah violated the terms of your dismissal letter to me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. My son was knee high to a Cracker Jack out on the street skate boarding when when one of your flying 🦧 ( monkeys). Went off on your favorite person in the whole wide world. 👩⚖️❓. Me. 😃
I'm Hispanic and I love polka music Idc if they called me weird ❤ 😂 😅
I’ve always thought Mexican music and this kind of music is kinda similar lol
Same
Tex Mex polka is on youtube, its a big thing. Look up Flaco Jimenez Tex Mex polka!!
Us Mexicans stole polka and added Spanish lyrics to it.😂

This is where Mexico 🇲🇽 got their inspiration. It’s history
I grew up in a Latino household and we loved watching big Joe. I am keeping the polka tradition alive 👍🏼
My grandpa loved big polka show. He’s been gone for 14 years now. Watching this in memory of him.
That's is so awesome. I do that, too.

Thank you for watching!
Why a guitar, the guy looks half dead, this isn't modern polka music fortunately.
Well, they were undoubtedly having a lot of fun! It's had to knock that!
Im not trying to say that these people aren't talented, but it is painful to listen too.
Then don't listen, just as I don't listen to the crap that is supposed to be music today. Also, it's listen "to". Go take a few spelling lessons.
Wow
