Ballroom Polka gets its due in Connecticut

Congratulations to radio host Peter Danielczuk for succeeding, after years of trying to get the Connecticut General Assembly to make the "Ballroom Polka" the state polka song. After nearly seven years, lawmakers passed the bill making the "Ballroom Polka," written by the late and great polka bandleader Ray Henry -- official. “Polka Pete” Danielczuk, a native of Ansonia, has been known as “The Connecticut Prince of Polka” for more than 40 years.
