I don't have a long stream of consciousness to share today, but this is yet another beautiful piece of wax right here. Much like last week's installment, Stan Wolowic And The Polka Chips' It's Polka Time just hits all of the right buttons for me. This is true party music right here from a homeboy from Chicago. Feel-good vibes through on out. Dreamy Fish Waltz and My Baby are great late-summer anthems. Slow and relaxed; perfect for a hot, humid day. Bruno's Polka, Mary Lou Polka, and Polka Chips Polka are great instrumentals. I love being able to hear the banjo clear as day. I think I also hear a mandolin at parts! I guess I could just read the liner notes to figure this out. This is probably the best rip I've done so far, and I hope it comes off just as beautiful for you.
Hope you've had a decent summer all things considered. Hope you're safe and healthy. Continue to protect yourself and your own!

Stan Wolowic had a fantastic band. They did a lot of recording in the 50s. The band had previously been the Prairie Ramblers who had played for the barn dance show on WLS in the 40s. When polkas became popular in the 50s they traded their costumes in and became a polka band. They did a weekly TV show in Chicago for many years. They were a great band.
