Good, but not his best
I bought this album for two reasons: It is by accordion master Myron Floren; It contained the song "Dance Little Bird." Unfortunately, it's not the best I've heard of either. Myron's virtuosity on the accordian comes through reasonably well, but I've heard him perform much better when he was with Lawrence Welk. I've also heard much more energetic versions of "The Chicken Dance." I prefer the sound of Myron Floren on Polkas! by Lawrence Welk. Unfortunately, I have not found this album on CD. I have transfered the album to CD from LP, but the record was not in mint condition, so it contains many pops and scratches. I wish more of the polka albums of this era were available because they capture the energy of the WWII generation so well. Still, "Dance Little Bird" would be a good intruduction to Myron Floren and Polka music in general.
Myron does it right this time
Some Myron Floren releases have a sameness about them, with little variation in tempo or style from track to track. In this one he has corrected the problem, by alternating polkas with waltzes, and by including lyrics on most of the tracks. Myron Floren's virtuosity is as apparent here as it always is. The CD was obviously an LP originally, as the twelve tracks are divided into "program 1" and "program 2", presumably sides 1 and 2 on the vinyl. Good listening.
