Introduction
Welcome to the Polkas Wiki! After 15 years, John Hasper has decided to retire his website polkas.nl and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. With that site gone, I decided to start my own. The site is just a work in progress at the moment.

About Me
Hello! My name is Danny Louis, and I've been following the Cleveland polka scene since 2018. Because of the pandemic, I didn't actually start going to events until 2021. Now the question I get most often is "How does a kid in St. Louis get interested in Cleveland-style polkas?". Well, it's a combination of my maternal grandfather having some Lawrence Welk albums, and my dad having an accordion still in his mother's house back from when he took lessons. I don't have a band, but I've had the privilege of sitting in with a few of the greats.
