I say a pretty bright blue vest with a lot of red edging, traced with white, and top and bottom pockets the same along with several little yellow flowers and 7 buttons on each center section inclosed with more stitching? Do you know where I could get a vest in XXX size?

Either that or perhaps a red vest with a Polish Eagle on the back and an edging around the ends?

Eddie............I know there is someone out there that can help...........if not I'm thinking of getting my wife to sew me one up herself from a sketch]]> http://www.polkasunited.com/discussion/1231/artist-of-the-month-lets-polka-usa-club Wed, 15 Feb 2012 15:25:32 -0700 ciero01 1231@/discussions

We've added 2 new members to the band (Steve Rodgers - Accordion, Trumpet, Clarinet, Keyboard) and Tom Mijal (Concertina, Fiddle, Vocals.) We've been very busy this winter learning new material for our gigs and if all goes well, we would like to record in the near future in 2012.

Have a look at our revamped website and hope to see you all this year at one of our performances. Our website address is: http://www.polishconnection.com/

Each of the Dance Seminars will be from 3:00 – 4:00 PM; followed by Live Musical Entertainment from 4:00 – 8:00 PM.

Within this series of lessons, (2) of the most requested “Polka Figure Dances” will be taught: The Domino and Bumpsy Daisy. In addition, (3) of the most popular “Fun Dances” that fill up the dance floor will be taught: Polka In Paradise, Labamba, and the Rock n’ Roll Strut.

And to get started, (3) Polka Lessons will be offered to get you prepared to dance the POLKA, and to learn those fabulous Polka Figure Dances.

These (9) Dance Seminars, plus the 4-hours of Live Musical Entertainment after each dance lesson is great way to enjoy the “Exciting World of Dancing Entertainment.”

It’s time to dust off those shoes, and get back to dancing once again. Beginner to Advance dancers are welcome to attend.

NOTE:

As information, the Domino, Bumpsy Daisy, Polka In Paradise, Labamba, and the Rock n’ Roll Strut dance lessons won’t be taught again until 2013 due to our commitment to present other types of dances at our next 2012 Dance Seminar at Blob’s Park. So, don’t miss out on learning these dances. We request that you arrive by 2:45 PM for the Dance Seminar.

If you have any questions, let us know.

Polkatively,
BUTCH & MARY KOTOWSKI
