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.
PS, your love for this music is to be admired. Nice
John...there were two words in your message here that reached out to me: "enjoyment" and "music."
Folks our age remember when "music" was "music" and not something resembling aerobics with sound. "Enjoyment" was a pleasurable state of mind that I can only reach now by listening to Classical Music/Opera or listening to....."silence!"
Sad!!
My offer extends to both you and Bill. I have an extensive library of music if you need a piece.
