I'm feeling sad and isolated today so I was looking for some polka music to perk me up. Isn't that what you do? I find polka music especially helpful in getting housecleaning done, so I'm sure it would work for lifting up spirits. Here's the thing: YouTube has a woeful lack of decent polka music. But one door closes and another one opens -

I find this weirdly appealing. There's something about the ernestness of amateurs interpretating popular music on unexpected instruments that slays me.

Wow. That was VERY weird.

LOL - my FIL used to pull out the accordion and play on holidays. Everyone would groan.

Oy, Suzette…that lifted your spirits? Whatever floats your boat, I suppose. Here, bubele, try this on for size. Don’t thank me, I’m a giver.
And so are you!
