Li'l Wally, the Polka King, has passed away.
Wally and his family lived across the street from us when I was very young. My Dad told me that on Saturday nights they would close down our block and the band would play and everyone would dance in the street. I wish I remembered that.
What I do remember is that I had a crush on his son Jimmy. Sweet thoughts of a simpler time.
Rest in peace, Li'l Wally. And thank you for the music.
