Nice profile of Canada's Polka King

I haven't heard of Walter Ostanek, but the Canadian Polka King sounds like a nice guy, and this pre-Grammy profile tells a familiar tale: Polka's kinda fading away.

Lucky thing nobody bothered to tell that to Polkacide or Brave Combo or even The Mad Maggies. (And of course Jimmy Sturr, who bagged the polka Grammy this year -- his 15th -- knows the ol' 1-2 is still kickin'.)

Accordion music is alive and well, as you can see in this dispatch from the "Wall of Sleeze."
