October 15, 2006: Kiwanis Oktoberfest (also featuring Walter Ostanek & his band)---Boonville, NY: Today, the weather was cold, rainy, and even a few snow flurries floated around. Luckily, we were indoors. Although there wasn’t heat in the building, FPB and Walter Ostanek & his band (today, Walt had Bob Kravos and some of the Boys in the Band…Frank & John), heated things up musically! Yeah, there were a few space heaters, too. Ha ha. Anyway, it seemed great to be doing a gig with Walter Ostanek and his band, as we always have a great time. Our friend, Frank Svet (all the way from Ohio!) jammed on accordion with us in the second set. He also jammed with Walter, too. FPB and Walter had planned on doing a big jam session at the end of the gig, but the music wrapped up a bit early due to an auction being held on-site. So, we never got to the jam session. We had a great time and a few of us stopped at The Hotey in Verona, NY on the way home. Here’s the list of tunes we did: 1st set 2nd set Here Is Fritz’s Polka Band / The Party’s Just Old Time Rock And Roll Begun / FPB On Tap There’s A Party Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door Lay Down Beside Me Chime Bells (requested Tom solo) John’s Polka Arnold’s Polka / Skippy’s Polka (button-box tunes… the latter being requested) Life On Earth Marian’s Waltz (button-box tune) Square Green Bottle Bialczak’s Polka (button-box tune) It Doesn’t Matter Nobody’s Darling But Mine Please Don’t Wait ‘Til Tomorrow Grandparent’s Polka Polka Time In The Morning Havin’ Fun Tonight, The Bottle Let Me Down Mississippi Silver Wings Tug Hill Polka (requested) Folsom Prison Blues Scherz’s Polka (requested) Helena Polka Baby Doll Polka (Frank Svet jammed with FPB!)
