39. Don't give up on Polka Music!
Of course it's not all German. Here in Texas, we also hear Czech, Polish & Tejano polkas.

Then there's Brave Combo. Their founder was bored by the "hip" music of the day & found interesting Polka records in the bargain bins. Then he recruited musicians from UT North Texas, which has always had a fine music school. Brave Combo has won 2 Best Polka Album Grammies & play at Polka festivals around the country. But they excel in other genres, as well. Go see them live if you've got a chance.

(Just to prove that NO genre should be condemned--even if it's not your cup of tea.)
