I miss Chris Farley. It’s funny because I never really liked him until the SNL sketch. Funniest thing I’ve ever seen! Swayze rocked it, too. Chris definitely impromptued that moment.

And my fave Pole dance is the polka, Frankie Yankovic conducting.

One of my musicology professors was Dr. Jacob Neupauer, who when he wasn't promoting the accordion at his Neupauer Conservatory, wrote at least one polka that I know of, the Lehigh Valley Polka
