Nostradamus Polka Pages -- Article by Mollie Busta: "Polka: The Changes and Developments Through the Years" In the nineteenth-century the polka, along with other couple dances, was enjoyed in “cleared-out kitchens during house parties, on granary floors and grassy summer picnic grounds, atop outdoor platforms assembled for weddings, and in fraternal halls and the ballrooms adjacent to family-run taverns” (Leary 1). The polka craze in the United States came in 1939, caused by the release of the Andrew Sister’s version of the “Beer Barrel Polka.” This polka was not an old folk tune. However, polka is still alive today and enjoyed by people of many ages and nationalities, even though the popularity of the polka is not at the same level it was fifty years ago. www.nostradamus.net /polka-mollie.htm   (4623 words)
