Allen Dale-The Liechtensteiner Polka

[nathan1050]

what a great talent....and no sheet music. I so wish I could play the way you do....would love to have a CD of your songs, would put it in my player piano and here how it sounds on the piano in my house.

Thank you for these posts.

[allendale1962]

@nathan1050 Thanks. I don't have any CD's for sale, unfortunately. It is too cost prohibitive for me to take on alone. Also, you're welcome. I liked your kudos.

[marblelmnop]

you have a unique style of playing, it makes all the songs have a happy side:) keep up good work

[karengalerice1982]

Thanks for the music! I have a dear friend and accomplished pianist (a graduate from the New England Conservatory of Music) who would REALLY love to locate a copy of this music. I have been searching high and low to locate this music for her with no success. Can you help? Thanks again.

[sisterbaldini]

I wasn't critizing your voice. You just talk to much. I just want to hear you play.

[sisterbaldini]

Please stick to your playing. It is much better than your talking.

[allendale1962]

@sisterbaldini That is a mean thing to say! I can't help how my voice is. It was ruined at age 23 by a stroke.Would YOU like me to critisize you for your voice?

[embran]

@allendale1962

Don't listen to him. Actually your voice is wonderful, matches perfectly the style of your playing. It's a rag voice. I love the way you pronuncied Liechtensteiner! best regards

[FredericBayer]

@sisterbaldini Please stick to committing suicide. It is much better than your commenting.

[allendale1962]

Hi,

Greetings from Germany, the original publisher.

My father and his friend composed it.

Nice to see that you like it.

Have a look what we made with this, concerning to the "Liechtenstein affair", it the LIECHTENSTEINER KONTO, what means the Liechtenstein account.

Best from Cologne

[allendale1962]

Excellent performance of the Lichtensteiner Polka

One of my favorites too. Chicago would love you. There's a radio station in Chicago that broadcasts Polka music every afternoon. I used to listen to it when we lived in St.Louis.

[allendale1962]

[motstraumen]

Vielen Dank, Allen. I sing this at Nursing homes around here. They love it.

[allendale1962]

thanks

[tablloyd5]

Wow Allen, what memories you triggered. I remember this from the fifties when it became really popular at a time when polkas weren't the "in thing." What a fabulous job you did. By the way, are you in Germany? It sort of sounded that way. Thanks again.

[allendale1962]

thanks. I am not from germany. I live in Illinois.

[midnightprism]

Too much fun! I bet my family thought I was stupid dancing though the house.

[allendale1962]

[allendale1962]

thanks

[Kaspall]

I come from Austria, Polka was invented in our country, let's dance. Great play!!!

[allendale1962]

thanks

[LuisSzar]

Yes! "October fiest" I've been there many times and have danced many times this polka, always with a pint of beer in the hand... Liechtenstein in spite of being the fourth smallest country of Europe, after Vatican, Monaco and S. Marino, with 35.000 residents, they have fantastic german music, happyness and, of course, beer!

Another fantastic job, Allen. You'r always remembering good times with your good music. Thanks.

[allendale1962]
