Jon: “Whether I’m right or whether I’m wrong. Whether I find a place in this world or never belong. I gotta be me, I’ve gotta be me. What else can I be but what I am
I want to live, not merely survive. And I won’t give up this dream Of life that keeps me alive. I gotta be me, I gotta be me, The dream that I see makes me what I am"
“And a one, and a two … I don’t want her, you can have her, she’s too fat for me ….” (the Too Fat Polka by the real polka king, Frankie Yankovic .. no relation to Weird Al).
When I was about 8 years old my parents decided I needed to learn to play a musical instrument. It was an Accordion they chose. It was almost as big as I was at that time. Fortunately that did not last long once my parents started to hear me play it.

They probably didn’t want to get to the Polka Accordion Fest. Let’s say they (snicker) had other things to do, places to be… Yeah?
