Frankie, My Dear
A track from this LP started playing on my iTunes this morning, and I found myself tapping along to it, so I'm taking that as a sign I should reshare it. Everybody loves a good polka, so why should Christmas be any different? Please help yourself a heaping helping of Frankie Yankovic-Christmas Party (Columbia CS 9053, Stereo).

Weird Al's first accordion lesson, which sparked his career in music, was on October 22, 1966, a day before his seventh birthday. A door-to-door salesman traveling through Lynwood offered the Yankovic parents a choice of accordion or guitar lessons at a local music school. Yankovic claims the reason his parents chose accordion over guitar was "They figured there should be at least one more accordion-playing Yankovic in the world", referring to Frankie Yankovic, to whom he is no relation.
