During a somewhat draining week, my subconscious mind tries to lighten the mood. That's the case right now, as "Peg Ryan's Polka," which the Buckhannon Brothers play on banjo, guitar, and bass, occupies my mind. It strikes the right balance of being lighthearted but not over-the-top. If you think reflexively that polkas are a frivolous musical genre, be advised that there's solid musicianship in this performance.
