Different polkas and accordions explained at Polka Hall of Fame

Joe Valencic, Joe Novak and Bob Kravos explain the different kinds of accordions and styles of polka music. They favor the Cleveland Style or Slovenian style of Polka and gave an example from the great Frankie Yankovic's big hit 'Just Because.' www.clevelandpeople.com/groups...

Nothing compares to Slovene "Cleveland STYLE" polkas. I've played the accordion since age 5, and my parents drags us kids around to all the places where they danced to this music, with bands like Frankie Yankovic, Johnny Pecon, Kenny Bass, Joe Staduhar, Joe Fedorchak, Frankie Mullec .. and so many more. While I can tolerate a "German Style" polka, I find "Polish Style" polkas difficult to appreciate.
