Streaming Polka Music – Review of Last.FM
I checked out Last.FM today. Last.FM is a popular streaming radio/music website, where you can type in your favorite music style and listen away for free. I typed in "Polka" and clicked on the "Polka Tag Radio" button. Here's the direct link: http://www.last.fm/listen/globaltags/polka#pane=webRadioPlayer&station=%252Flisten%252Fglobaltags%252Fpolka This is what I found: They have a neat feature where you can skip a song if it's not what you like. Most of the songs I listened to were either from the 50's, Mexican-Polka flavor, or had a heavy Eastern European sound to it. There was also one "punk" song that played. I didn't hear any current "US" version Polkas. ...
Kielbasa & Sauerkraut Recipe
Rinse a 3lb jar of sauerkraut in water. Place in pot with cold water just covering the sauerkraut. Add one teaspoon of salt, ½ teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. Cook until done. Fry 4 slices of bacon (cut into small pieces) with one medium diced onion until brown. Put this in sauerkraut. Then make a roux. Put in sk illet, preferably iron, 2 tablespoons flour and stir until lightly brown. Add one-cup water to make a gravy. Pour gravy over sauerkraut. Add one ring smoked kielbasa cut into ¼ inch slices (or whatever size you like) and cook awhile so that flavors may blend.

WTBQ has its own WIKI Page
Wiki-pedia has become the encyclopedia of the internet ... of sorts. It is formatted much like the encyclopedias that we all grew up with. I'm happy to report that our own WTBQ now has a full-fledged wiki-page, and it is pretty comprehensive. Among other facts, it includes: 1. It is one of the last locally-owned radio stations left in Orange County, New York. The station airs on 1110 AM (throughout Orange County and northern New Jersey) and 99.1 FM (in the Town of Warwick and surrounding areas). 2. The call letters came from Ed Klein's (who brought WTBQ to air July 27, 1969) young ...
