With Oktoberfest season in full swing - at least as much as 2020 will allow! - here's a festive little melody. 'Dick's Polka,' written by Dick Metko, the accordionist with the great old-time band, Lawrence Duchow and the Red Raven orchestra.

The accordion itself is a 1952 Pancordion - I owned it at the time, but I've since sold it to Irwin Arnstein... who plays tuba in the Singapore Slingers and just happened to be the man behind the camera here!
