THURSDAY NIGHT FEATURE

POLKA!!!!!

Dylan T. says:
"I'll be starting things out exploring the classical and folk origins of polka 
in Bohemia and move through polka's immigration to America at the beginning of 
the 20th century.   We'll listen to Frankie Yankovic, Myron Floren, and many 
others as we explore the Cleveland Slovenian and Chicago Polish styles.  I'll 
also touch on the Latino influenced Noreno polka hybrid and Irish styles.  And 
to wrap things up I'll be playing lots of cuts from modern artists who have 
their own take on this genre, with Brave Combo, Finntroll, Polkacide, and the 
Polkaholics leading the way." Thursdays, 9 p.m. to 12 a.m.
