A lot of people in this column are playing down the Polish American polka style. I now live in Alabama and this music is almost nonexistent down here. Perhaps these comments are from people who are heavy into hiphop or rock. I am a Polish and I love this music. Keep up the fabulous sound!
Talk about very talented clarinet players! The quality of their performance and talents are extraordinary. They bring us so much pleasure! They make the "Clarinet Polka" live on forever! Frania1
I was lucky enough to have been there for this outstanding performance. While the musicians are truly outstanding, so too is Hank Guzevich's arrangment of this popular old-time favorite.
wot the hell is the official name for this polka? ive been trying to download authentic polka songs in my dads memory and need to know the name of the these great classics....
Every single hair on me stood straight up. It has been so long since I heard this old time favorite. It was a mainstay at every Polish wedding my family had. I used to hear it on our local Polka station sometimes during milking too. The station had "the milking hour show". I miss those days.
I wish i could play my trumpet as well as him. I remember i talked to him about how he got so good.... but practice and many many lessons does not seem to add up to being able to play that well to me. That is def a gift right there!
thank you guys very much for the comments and for letting me know who the 3rd clarinet player was! I have more that I will be posting as soon as I get time to transfer them onto my computer. Anyone have any requests of bands they would like to see?
Best rendition of the Clarinet Polka I've heard!

I play accordion & I play trumpet. Listening to this makes me smile - and I think that's what polka music is supposed to do. Thanks for posting this.

You don't have to be polish to love polish polkas. There is no comparison. The clarinet's are awesome. This rendition really rocks.

The clarinet player on the left appears to be Chris Szymczak who I believe was with Doubleshot Polka band at the time.

This isn't German folk music..it's Polish; not much of a music artisan I see.

Wrong, the polka originated in Germany and then later became more associated with the Poles.
