I can tell to you and you would not be surprised I am sure from all the requests for information that have come to me asking for information on what the heck is going on with Polka Band Gobi (formerlyThik Polka). My nephew Lucky, has been forwarding messages to me and he let me know that Cheektowaga and Tonawanda are missing Thik Polka, the band. As you know we are in New Delhi ( this is in India) playing polka gigs all over the place. We met with Yamya a very famous sitar player and she joined the band so now when we do our polka music, the blending of the accordions and sitar is just so…magical ( you could imagine this I am sure).
We are so so lucky, as the phrase goes, for when we settled into India this very famous chef asked us to play in her restaurant and we bring the house down with our polka music and we get to live here too! The weather was oh so hot so our lederhosen went away and we now have full cotton lederhosen and this is so much better. And no more with the cabbage rolls! We now only eat vegetarian cabbage rolls and the chef lady makes them special for us and I think it is a hit with the crowd that follows us too. I will have to tell to you how you do vegetarian cabbage rolls. You get this bread stuff and roll cabbage in it, add some curry and there you go. It has some secret herbs and spices, I think so. Next letter I will let you know how our fan club is building up and the music we are playing. I have heard from a Khuresh Kyryl of Tuva ( a country close to India somewhere, north I think) and he is a throat singer. I have heard him throat sing on the internet and I think, yes I do, that this man will play a key part with Polka Band Gobi and our search for the perfect polka. Maybe he will join us when we play the Taj . That would be very nice, we just need to work out the timings for this.

Mr. Yashi,
Did you get Monkey Butt Powder? You can get in Sandelwood or Jasmine scents. It helps vedy much to keep testicles dry. Nobody like sveddy balls, sir. This is vedy impordant.
