Thanks so much for the Wisconsin Polka history Alex! And I am an Iron Ranger from Minnesota! BTW, I really perked up when you mentioned COPPERBOX! they played at Ironworld around the same time you played there with your Dad late 90s early 2000s . What a fantastic group! spent some time with them and shot some pics for them . I really miss those days! I still hope to see you perform again! Duluth MN being the only chance that can happen.
Nice one! I’ll mention this and link to the video when we do a Polka celebration episode of Accordions Noir Radio this week to commemorate the Wisconsin anniversary 🪗💃🏽🪩🕺🏽
I love this, Alex! You have such a wonderful way of making this genre's history accessible and interesting. I hope you do more videos with a historical perspective. Thank you!
Hoping to do more of these. They're definitely a bit more time intensive to put together- the support of the patreon members are helping to get these produced. Please consider checking out www.patreon.com/alexmeixner

I enjoy a lot of Tom Brusky in the Milwaukee area playing Slovenian style too!

Correction - Dick Metko on accordion and Dick Rodgers on Concertina.
Yes-- my bad on the reversal of those icons!

It's been so long since I've been up on the range-- and those sure are great memories at Ironworld!
Dobré! Thank you, Alex!
Thank you!
Thank you for this historical review! As a proud Wisconsinite I have danced to many of those performers at festivals, weddings & parties.
There's so many wonderful polka bands from Wisconsin it was hard to limit the discussion to just this 5 minute video!
Thanks for the Education
Anytime!
