Mom and Pop's Polka - Alex Meixner on a Karpek Special Melodija 3 Row Button Accordion

Mom and Pop's Polka is one of Alex Meixner's favorite American Slovenian Button Box polkas, originally recorded by Benzy Rathbone on Polka Cruise with Jack Tady's Swinging Laddies. In this video, he plays a Karpek Special Melodija 3-row button accordion in C-F-Bb, which originally belonged to Ron Luznar. The accordion was recently refurbished by the talented musician and repairman Danny Jerabek.
Alex Meixner is one of the most dynamic accordionists on the scene today. Meixner has performed around the world, notably at American festivals like The National Folk Festival and Central Park SummerStage, as well as at uncountable community celebrations and accordion-centric events. He has worked with Jack Black on the Sundance-screened, Netflix movie "The Polka King", with Post Modern Jukebox, and as an on-screen spokesperson for Hormel Pepperoni.
