Quoth RetailWorkhorse View PostGreen, you're in AZ, right? Kingman is just north of Quartzsite, which holds a month-long RV show and rally. And since I'm a registered Escapee Rver there's a fairly large chance I'll be there some January.

Quoth RetailWorkhorse View PostIt's been one of those days where I ask myself why I'm a food vendor....
Music.
Someone explain to me why "mexican" music sounds like a Polka.
Wiki:
"Conjunto-style" polkas have roots in northern Mexico and Texas, and are also called "Norteño". Traditional dances from this region reflect the influence of polka-dancing European immigrants. In the 1980s and 1990s, several American bands began to combine polka with various rock styles (sometimes referred to as "punk polka"), "alternative polka", or "San Francisco-style".
There also exist Curacaon polkas, Peruvian polkas (becoming very popular in Lima). In the pampas of Argentina, the "polca" has a very very fast beat with a 3/4 compass. Instruments used are: acoustic guitar (usually six strings, but sometimes seven strings), electric or acoustic bass (sometimes fretless), accordion (sometimes piano accordion, sometimes button accordion), and sometimes some percussion is used. The lyrics always praise the gaucho warriors from the past or tell about the life of the gaucho campeiros (provincial gauchos who keep the common way). The polka was very popular in South and Southwest of Brazil, were it was mixed with other European and African styles to create the Choro.Last edited by Hobbs; 04-11-2010, 10:55 PM.

Quoth Hobbs View PostMaybe because "polka" refers to a type of dance/music that is shared between different cultures. I've never heard a German Polka, but Mexican Polkas....oh heck yea.Now a member of that alien race called Management.

If I survive, I get Beef Brisket! Nom, nom, nom... The pulled pork around here is good, but Beef Brisket rules.
Quoth RetailWorkhorse View PostEither way, I keep expecting Weird Al to suddenly start singing.
When you mention Weird Al and Mexican, I think Taco Grande.
