Weddings Dollar/Money Dance Polka

[jokerswild]

I've been combing the archives for this and I know it exists.... supposidly there was a 14 minute Dollar Dance song that was a Polka but, only available online from the groups website.... I can't seem to find anything more than a 2 minute polka called The Bridal Dance Polka....

I have a Polish/German Bride/Groom looking for the traditional money dance polka....


Help!!!

 

[DJ Ducky]

Yikes! All I've got is a collection of 2:30 minute Myron Floren tunes. It will be interesting to see if anyone here knows about this 14-minute polka.

 

[jokerswild]

I believe it was done by Tex-Mex Express.... and the extended version was only available on their website but now all I can find is the short version.... I bet I could get away with combining similar polkas with the Tex-Mex Express version but was really looking for the extended version....

It might have been that other site where I saw the information but, it's been a long time.

The Brides side is Polish and the Grooms side is German.... and they like the idea of a traditional reception... and I do mean traditional.

 

[DJ Ducky]

Good luck with that...I'd like to see a gig report after it, if you don't mind. I'm not totally sure exactly what you mean by "traditional," so it will definitely be interesting to hear about.

You'll have to wait for this gig report.... until oh about July 11, 2010.... yah I have time to find this song.... just wanted to have it so I knew my bases were covered.

I'm fairly familiar with the style but I have never heard of a 14 minute polka

My dad used to play it to us when we were really, really bad kids.

Rob - I got it at home, don't think I can email it to you cause its a huge file (maybe through g-mail).

PM me and we'll figure something out.

I got the CD at:

since you have time until you need it.

DJ Joe,

Thanks for that link. I had seen that CD listed in Mobile Beat a few years ago.

Do you think it's worth it? I mean, is it a good audio quality CD? I had thought about buying that myself.

Cheers,

Joe

Yes, the Redovy (multiple ways of spelling) is the melody on that CD. If you do a number of Polish weddings, its worth the $20 to get the CD.

You're name is Staniszewski, you live in PA, and you hesitated to buy the POLKA CD? :sqerr: I would think that would be a prerequisite to becoming a PA DJ. LOL

I use The Trel Tones - Bridal Dance Polka

http://www.15122.com/TrelTones/Album.htm


They are a Polka Band close to my house and everyone knows the version.


Their version is 37 minutes long, I have had bridal dances that I had to start playing it for a third time.

I would say the average is around 25 to 30 minutes.

 

[Ruben Mora]

I never played a polka for a wedding or any other event. If I had to play a polka, it would be this one.

That's the site I was looking for just couldn't remember it..... I have something similar I think so will check with the bride before I go buying another $14.00 song that I'll probably use once.
