HAPPY BIRTHDAY WALTER OSTANEK

Canada's Polka King is 71 years young today.



This three-time grammy winner may be viewed by some as Canada's answer to Frankie Yankovic, but he's established himself as a first-rate showman and superstar in his own right. And who can forget his epic stand at the Battle of Kitchener in the Great North American Polka War of 1983? But for Walter's squeezebox heroics, much of Ontario might now be subject to the somber waltzes of the Diablos Azules del AcordiĆ³n.


Hey, don't just sit there! Join the conversation!
