Mark, a big thank you. Polkas, French waltzes, classical music, they were a big part of my enjoyment playing.

About fifteen years ago I stopped playing them I had to focus on music that was in demand. (at parties) Back in New York, Jewish and Italian music was a must.

Your post brought beautiful memories. I have my old books out again.
Thanks my friend, John C.

PS, your love for this music is to be admired. Nice
