A POLKA  &  WALTZ  HOLIDAY
by  Verne Meisner     KCD - 2002 ... $ 15.00 
I've been told that this is the album that started the recording career of Verne Meisner. After recording dozens of albums and being installed in numerous Polka Music Halls of Fame his reputation tags him as one of the all time best accordionists to ever play a polka. Personally, I consider his recordings of waltzes to be masterpieces.
Many times, with accordionists, you must choose between technical players and stylistic players - Verne Meisner was both.

CONTAINS: SNEAKY PETE POLKA/ PRETTY POLLY POLKA/ STARLIGHT WALTZ/
SERPICO POLKA/ DICK'S POLKA/ TILL I RETURN WALTZ/ MORNING GLOW WALTZ/
WHO'D YA LIKE TO LOVE YA/ BIG BANG POLKA/ MEMORIES OF VIENNA/
TANZE MIT MIR IN DEM MORGEN (Polka)/ MY WIFE HAS GONE AND LEFT ME.

MUSIC OF AL MEIXNER 1970 - 2000        CD- 008 ... $15.00

   70 Minutes (24 Songs) of Meixner Musical Magic !!! Alex Meixner assembled this compilation of songs that were recorded by his father, Al, between 1970 and 2000 using the various groups that Al organized. The current Al Meixner Trio is represented and also the Meixner Kinder from quite a few years ago. Some tunes were only partially recorded so missing parts had to be added. Alex then digitally remixed and mastered the original recordings. He even used his great grandfather’s hand written music as the background behind the artwork. You’re gonna love this one ... It’s quite a collection !!!
