 Well, people usually associate polka music with an older crowd, but one man is bringing the genre to a new generation. Our own Cheryl Moore tells us about pint-sized polkas for this week's In Focus. The show is easy to miss, The head of the show is easy to miss. There was a polka party down in Park Rapids today, and the audience was filled with our youngest generation. I'd always played for church festivals for years in the Milwaukee area, and I had seen, you know, kids' reactions to polka music, and it was, you know, I always had a good response, but to do the children's program and then, you know, see the way kids react like here in Park Rapids today, it's been just a lot of fun, and I really think they're enjoying it. Mike got the idea of pint-sized polkas from his wife back in 2008. Since then, he's been traveling all over the country with his accordion, making kids smile by playing classics like The Hokey Pokey, Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes, and... The Chicken Dance. The Chicken Dance? Oh, that one's really, really fun. The Park Rapids Library had featured the pint-sized polkas program before. They say it was an easy decision to bring it back, as the way to help spread some more culture in the area. Especially when we live in a rural area, everybody doesn't get the opportunity to see a lot of music or theater or, you know, there's some things that are maybe a little more accessible in bigger areas. So as a library, one of our goals is education, and also we want people to just learn about culture and the arts. The parents get to play along with the kids. Some say they like that. It's something you don't hear every day. I thought it was a great way to introduce kids to a variety of different music instead of just what's on the radio. And as for Mike, he's just happy to share his passion with the tights. They love it. It's exceeded my expectations by an exponential number.
