Issued in America’s Bicentennial year, on good old vinyl, was this eponymous Polka Quads album.
I just found this on EBAY going for a little over three dollars.
Steelton has a lively polka scene even today. It’s funny, because for years I’ve been walking by a building down on Front Street in Steelton advertising “POLKA QUADS,” with monthly dates given on their changing signboard. I always assumed that referenced the dance and not a particular musical act. Now I’m wondering.
Want a real shocker? When I googled this, I found this video from 2010 which seems to indicate the band might be ongoing after all these years. Continuing with this search, I learned the band seems to have toured quite a bit in recent years. Here are some other performance videos featuring the musical act. I think the most recent videos date from three years ago. Maybe it’s an inter-generational or family thing and the line-up has changed over the years.
Polka probably leads to longevity. If you polka at twenty, you’ll probably polka at a hundred.
