Let's Have a Party written by Ted Zalac

I started playing drums for the 90 year old " Swinging Senator " on January 18th, 2017 . The songs and music are somewhat of a new dimension for me but it's all good when I get the opportunity to play music with three confident seasoned professionals such as Senator Chmielewski, Lorren and Eleanor that have been playing polka music for over a half a century, you suddenly realize your heart is in a happy place. I must say that it is a great honor to play music with these fine folks...so let's everybody, Polka!!!

Not to mention..... How about them dancers!!

Thanks everybody it really is a fun time!!!!!

Big thank you goes out to our good friend Jim Fairchild for all the extra help he so graciously offer us band members. Thank you Mr. Fairchild you have our utmost respect..
