I know we got polka polka polka on the back like last year
He still tells me the story of the
ceremonial tuba hanging on the wall in the old beer hall across the street. Oh, yeah
And he said that was one of the last times he really saw a four of everything
And corky had to help walk him out
Well, have I ever told you the story of the first time I really
Spent some time with tuba Dan. No, uh, so he actually played we had a we had a private wedding at our old when we're in the old place
this was um
I'm gonna say
2017 2018 is it before the beer hall edition?
Yeah, this is pre beer hall. So it had to be pre 2019
So we had a private wedding on a Sunday and they hired tuba Dan and the and the polka band to come and play
I and I think even Danny and Michelle might have been there actually for the those like I think was the family band
Anyway, I thought maybe he just did a tuba solo. No, no, he was there and
tuba was playing and we of course we had the bar open and we had my Sophia on tap at that particular time
Oh, that's the heavier stuff. That's the 9% of what goes down like the blonde, you know and
And tuba's
tuba had one. He's like wow, dude. This is good stuff. Keep him coming, you know
And after about I think four or five he comes up. They what the hell he got in this stuff
You almost fell off the tuba chair, I think
That's when you stand up and you swing right around with the back of the bar stool
Yeah, I'll never forget that
So yeah, we're hoping to get him out, you know, I know he moves a little slower around these days
Well, he needs of my Sophia. He needs of my Sophia to loosen up the joints
Yeah, I mean you think of back in the day when he was the president of the Wisconsin polka hall of fame
And they had the tour bus with the tuba Dan family band and he would drive the big red tour bus
Yeah, and go all over the Midwest fantastic they would take trips
They would actually play in in Arizona, California. They were all over. Oh, well, he went to Munich a couple times
In Austria for for plan. He sat on Don Hosepiano one night in Hawaii. I heard that story
That also he had some multiple versions of that story. Yeah, it was a little fuzzy. I think he tells multiple versions
Remembers multiple versions
