As I’m continuing the engagement here at the Hofbrau Haus in Panama City Beach- had a few interesting encounters… A group of Army dudes came in on Wednesday- as their ringleader saw The Alex Meixner Band play at Newport, RI’s Oktoberfest a few years ago… total coincidence that they happened to be passing the Hofbrau that night! Always good—hope to be playing for them in New England later this year again with the whole band…  Besides old faces, it was a little slow last night in our early set, so we were going through some different repertoire in our medleys—and happened to play one of my old Polish favorites- “Hey Cavalier”. Turns out there was a group of students from Michigan at the pizza place next door- including a driver/ promoter for the Dynabrass, a great Polish band from up there… totally random! Always good to run into some already converted polka fans! The Alex Meixner Duo continues at the Hofbrau Haus in Panama City Beach tonight at 7pm. We’re there on Saturday at 7pm and Sunday at 6pm before heading out of town…hope to see ya there….
