Cactus Jack Calder Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 We lived 30+ years in Warwick, NY, less than five miles from the village of Florida, NY the home of Jimmy Sturr “The Polka King”. Florida, NY was also the childhood home of William Seward of “Seward’s Folly” fame, as in the purchase of Alaska from Russia. We spent a good deal of time in Florida as my wife taught Art in the elementary school in the village. Cj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually Polka is easy to dance to. Just grab your partner and swing around in a circle kind skipping as you go. Very good exercise. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bright, upbeat, and just plain fun music. I associate it with good company and good food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t stand the sound of an accordion and the beat especially for a drummer is boring as he$&! I agree it’s a happy kind of music but it doesn’t make me happy!

Alpo Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 That video the Jack posted - somebody needs to beat that cameraman. Just seems to me that if you're teaching me how to dance, and the dance involves footwork - you might want to keep the camera down at the instructor's feet. Yes she's cute, but it doesn't help me to learn the steps - the STEPS - when you keep the camera on her face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't understand the why of some of your dislikes, but I can see where you are coming from. To use a phrase I loathe, "We'll just have to agree to disagree."
