This album started with a single idea: "Hey, guys, let's write and perform some original polkas". Next thing we know, we recorded our "first drafts" on the Olympus LS-10 in Pete and Raye Donatella's living room, and then proceeded to go to a professional studio and enjoy the experience. Each and every polka has its own flavor, unique style of the songwriter, toe-tapping listenability and irresistible danceability. Our players range in age from 19 to 80-plus. You have to agree that the simple title of this album is just right: HOT ORIGINAL POLKAS
