What would happen if the king of Chicago-style polka met the king of champagne music? It actually happened back in 1966 when Lil’ Wally Jagiello performed “Johnny’s Knocking Polka” on the Lawrence Welk Show. I could watch that chemnitzer concertina shake for hours…

Where can I find a video of Lil’ Wally playing “Johnny’s Knocking” on the Lawrence Welk Show?

Sorry Rich, I don’t know. The video we linked to has been removed from YouTube, so you’ll have to track it down somewhere else.
