I was booked to play my last Oktoberfest event of 2022. The event was held at a Lutheran church. The church had food, games, fund raisers, and entertainment. The Sun City Poms were scheduled to put on a short performance before my strolling accordion Oktoberfest music began. The Poms used prerecorded music to accompany their routine, but the system failed just as they began their last song, God Bless America. So, I wandered through the crowd, asked the Poms director about the length of the routine, and played the song with a strong beat for the ladies. The audience stood and sang along. Everyone cheered when the song ended, then I broke into Beer Barrel Polka. What a party!
