GODINA’S POLKA
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.2 месяца назад
Here’s a great Slovenian-style polka tune that was recorded by Jake Zagger in the 1980s in honor of his cousin - renowned polka DJ and promoter Joe Godina. I believe the song was originally composed and recorded by Lojze Slak- but I’ve never found the original recording. Jake’s unmistakable style really influenced how I approached the diatonic button accordion and this is one of my favorites of...

Purple Rain's 40th anniversary is June 25. You could add Let's Go Crazy to this. Or a Prince mashup. Just an idea.
Hmmm... I was thinking about Purple Rain with my purple accordion!
What fun!🎶😃
"The Polically Incorrect Polka"....great start to the medley!
Excellent very nice Can you do miserlou and never on a Sunday? I.would love to see how you play them
One of these days I might do a video of those. Beautiful melodies.
Never heard of the Westview Polka. We raised our family in Westview. Never thought it would have its own polka. Thanks for sharing.
hope you put up another video from this set Alex. The young boys just witnessed polka's version of Angus Young from AC/DC.. YOU !! LOL.
Are those post-it notes above the piano? Is that piano yours too?
That red piano is from my wife's side of the family and the labels on the ends of boxes of the music rolls that go in it. Here's another video where I play along with it and its story. ruclips.net/video/FzW_0Y_-HuA/видео.html
I must be a big fan. I can tell you it's you playing accordion.
Wow, that was you!
Yup!
Who plays the guitar on your version of Crazy Train? Is that a added or a real guitar player?
On my live album "You Asked for It" the guitarist is Hank Guzevich.
Alex you are so cool. You sing, play, and teach. You made me buy Alex Meixner Live. I put it on repeat all week this week.
That is awesome! Thanks for the support!
I love this. I would like to hear the whole Du Hast the way Rammstein performed it. I just like to hear it so I can compare.
Maybe sometime I'll work it up like that...
5:40 - sounds cajun
All part of the same musical tree!

Mr. Krabs: Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! I got one! It's an old sea shanty me and me mates used to sing on the high seas. "🎶 It be drafty and wet on the mighty high seas, the ideal abode for rampant disease. So mateys, oh mateys, don't ever weep! If I so much as sneeze, cast me into the deep! 🎶"
;)
cool
Thanks!
Tradition, Journey, and Springsteen all wrapped up in one! Brilliantly amazing performance! Entertaining and inspiring performance!

#NONONONO!!!
How many are looking for themselves in the crowd?
Excellent job Alex!!
Don Gralak would be proud!
Thanks! I wish I had the opportunity to have met him.
Beautiful. We used to have accordian jamborees here where I live and I always played guitar with the accordian players. Covid put an end to that and to this day they haven't started up. Boy I sure miss playing old time music.
Hope to hear ya play on here! Lot's of accordion players are meeting up again :)
@alexmeixner Saskatchewan I it's not been for 4 years. Your excellent on the button box. Mark Liek from Walter Ostenak and the Western Senator's was also good on the button box
SOOOOO GLAD TO SEE PADDY THE FIDDLER PLAYING ALONG WITH UR BAND. WONDERED WHERE HE WAS???GREAT FIDDLE PLAYER AND HES SO CUTE
Enjoyed this so much, what an education for all of us! Fantastic playing 👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed it!
Terrific job Love it , your both awesome alex & Brian
Thanks so much! Brian is an awesome player and wonderful friend.
Alex, it's great to see you can still move like you did 20 + years ago at Ironworld! I wish you could bring this band to Duluth to try and inspire an under 50 crowd !
We were in Duluth in 2021 but just haven't been able to work it into the schedule again. Hope you can make Delano, MN this september!
Good Memorial weekend to all. Getting ready to start the National Button Accordion Festival. Your father shared this song with me years ago. So nice to see it performed. Thank you.
Hope you had a wonderful time at the NBAF. Thanks for sharing your video as well. Much appreciated to see that little snippet.
That was glorious!!!!
Thank you.
Nice performance
Thanks!
Get down
We love Alex! Hoping to see you in Milwaukee early August. My favorite line of all time..."Hey hey, everybody...listen to me......If you drink, you're going to die! But if you don't drink...:-) Such a great entertainer. I picked up a shirt and a great pic with Alex at Wurstfest in New Braunsfeld a few years ago.
Looking forward to seeing ya at Das Fest!!
That's amazing two different styles of the bellow shake. one horizontal and one vertical. nice playing dudes.
The purpose of the bellow shake within the context of a Polish polka band is as a part of the rhythm section- therefore the consistency of the accents is generally achieved through the horizontal motion, in contrast to the traditional accordion teaching of vertical shakes for the effect.
That really pushes my buttons!
:)
Very nice! The button box…
LOL, can't wait for the next episode.
So nice to see you playing the Excelsior. Please consider playing some more of these vintage accordions as they lend a wonderful different tone to your playing and sound.
I love all of the different accordions in my arsenal! Thanks for appreciating them as well!
Very good!
Thanks!
Loved this! Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Love that trumpet!! ❤️👍 and album
Thank you fine sir!
