I'm sure you can feel the excitement mounting! Next week will be show #200! But for now you'll have to settle with Oompah Hour #199!A rare moment on the show, there's ONE song that's BRAND NEW and NOT from a record! I talk a bit about the new Jack Black movie "The Polka King" which is the Jan Lewan story. We'll here Jack and the Polka King Band doing "Everybody Polka" from the movie and I'll follow that up with a vintage recording from Jan Lewan and his band. The Jan Lewan story is an interesting one, and although I haven't seen the movie yet I'm familiar with the story. Jan himself was interviewed after seeing the movie about himself and gave it a thumbs up. Jan continues to tour today. BTW, Alex Meixner plays accordion on the movie soundtrack.Anyway, other than that it's a week full of great tunes as always, and available at the usual link: http://www.ironrangecountry.com/oompahhour.mp3
