I come from a polka family. That's me right there. Growing
up, I loved dancing and playing the polka especially with my
dad. Now, I'm a polka performer and recording artist. Is
everybody happy? And on occasion, I still get to play
along with dad. I grew up on a farm in Northeast Iowa and I
can't ever remember a time that I didn't like polka music so
it's something that I just kind of grew up liking an awful
lot. Playing polka music is something dad passed on to us
kids. My brother Chad plays drums. Multi-generational
musicians like us are common in polka music. One of the things
I think is that polka is a genetically transmitted trait.
There are so many wonderful family bands that can go two,
three generations where everybody plays polka.
