Beer Barrel Polka by Mollie B & Ted Lange (Home Session #24) 'Roll Out The Barrel'

Mollie B & Ted Lange are joined by their drummer, Dana Lindblad, as they perform the polka that everyone knows, The Beer Barrel Polka!

Through the beauty of technology, Mollie and Ted recorded their parts in Ohio, then sent the audio to MN where Dana recorded his drum parts, and then sent them back to Mollie and Ted in Ohio for final assembly in the video.... all done over the internet!

Hi Mollie and Ted,
I am 70 years old, and I love your music. When I was a kid, back in the 50's and 60's.in Milwaukee. Wi, when we went to weddings, they always had a polka band, or at least, a band that could play a few polkas. Your music takes me back to those days in the same way that classic rock n roll does.
I am an amateur song writer and I have worked out a "great" polka song on my Yamaha Tyros 5 workstation.
Here is my question for Ted. Can you make a short video on how you play those great fills or licks on your accordian? If you could demonstrate the one or ones you use most often, that would be terrific. Thanks🙂

Hello Mollie, hello Ted. I am a musician from Germany who really enjoys listening to your songs on YouTube. It's great what you're doing. We also play the Beer Barall Polka. In Germany it is called ROSAMUNDE Polka. The festival musicians wish you continued success. Greetings Uli from Germany.

My 80 year old drummer husband says Dana is about the best drummers he has heard in a long time. My husband played in Polka bands for almost 70 years.

I have to make an admission to you Mollie. I am not much of a polka fan because I grew up in the Deep South where polka music wasn't much played. I did hear some German polka music played while I was in the U.S. Army stationed in Heidelberg, West Germany. I now live with my wife and son in upstate NY where your show is aired every Saturday and Wednesday evenings on RFD-TV. We sometimes watch your show after watching some country music shows on the channel and while my wife who admittedly is also not a fan of polka music, enjoys watching your show also.
