Polka Takes Over the World

When Will Glahe, an accordionist and band leader, recorded ''Beer Barrel Polka'' in 1935, America was hooked on polka. By the late 1940's and early 1950's, Frankie Yankovic, the Polka King, was a household name. In a scene reminiscent to those glorious polka years, Don Mattevi busted out his air accordion and led anyone who could get up out of their seat, in a polka. After all, who can contain themselves when the familiar "Too Fat Polka" and "Who Stole the Kishka?" are blaring full force, and Don Mattevi is leading on his air accordion? I don't know about you, but I'm in!
