Chris Gable - Clarinet Polka

[@numizumi5131]

Oh when youre down and youre looking for some cheering up Then just head right on up to the candy mountain cave When you get inside you find yourself a cheery land Such a happy and joy filled and perky merry land Theyve got lollipops and gummidrops and candy things Oh so many things that will brighten up your day Its impossible to wear a frown in candy town Its the mecca of love the candy cave Theyve got jellybeans and coconut with little hats Candy rats, chocolate bats, its a wonderland of sweets Buy the candy train to town and hear the candy band Candy bells, its a treat, as they march across the land Cherry ribbon stream across the sky and to the ground Turn around, it astounds, its a dancing candy tree In the candy cave imagination runs so free So now Charlie please will you go into the cave?

[@thereseember2800]

Magnificent!! We would dance non-stop to this song at family reunions. I still laugh remembering how fun it was to dance the polka with everyone from my Dad’s side of the family. Thank you for the sacred memories!

[@chrisgable1]

You're welcome! I've been playing this tune since I was 11, probably performed it at least a thousand times, but haven't played it since February... never thought I'd miss it, but I actually do!

This is my favorite polka tune! My mother was Polish and loved to dance to this record when I was a little girl. That was about 60 years ago.

Welcome to the club. I am trying to muster this on my piano accordion 🪗.

[@izabelalydia9545]

I think that the Clarinet Polka is a wonderful, upbeat song but this version by far supercedes any previous rendering that I have ever heard. This is the stuff that stops ANY bad day right in it's tracks. Better than any anti-depressant! Thank you for this and the impromptu kitchen dance parties that will happen again and again for years to come. You are a legend!

[@chrisgable1]

Hahaha - thank you very much! Enjoy your kitchen dancing!

[@wojciechpaczek2261]

This is polish-folk song called Polka- Dziadek (Grandpa). Since over 40 years this is opening theme from "Summer with the Radio " - the radio-broadcast in Polish Radio. Thank You, Mr. Gable for Your performance :)

Actually Clarinet Polka was created in Austria as Klarinetten Muckl by A. Hupfata in late XIX

Very good. NOT played by a tuba. NOT played by an accordion. NOT played on a piano. NOT drowned out by a band. PLAYED BY A CLARINET! VERY well done sir.

[@chrisgable1]

+Paul Gronemeier I'd actually be pretty impressed to hear this tune played by a tuba...! There's a LOT of notes in it.

[@chrisgable1]

+Paul Gronemeier That was GREAT!! Only problem is that every time I perform this song without a talk show host dancing with a pre-teen girl behind me, it'll feel incomplete...

[@pgronemeier]

+Chris Gable, Musician & Vocalist ..HAHAHAHAHA! I WAS a piano player in the 70-90's. I know what you mean. Parents would bring their kid up to watch, and I'd say, "Keep up your lessons and in 10 years you could be up here smoking and drinking for free and get any woman you want..." I think that's when the parents talked them into science or something. LMAO

[@petermalanchuk8210]

My paternal grandparents came to the US from Ukraine about 1909. They live a couple of miles from my parents house in Hempstead, NY (Village of Hempstead). They had a box of Ukrainian folk tunes on discs, which were all Columbia Light Green label 78 rpm discs, from the late 1920's and early 1930's. One disc had the Clarinet Polka on it but it was played in a much slower beat by an old orchestra, recording most likely from the early 1930's. We kids played these records on an old single speed record player back in the late 1950's until around 1961 - so much fun.

I just started on the clarinet last week. Got the fingering down for one verse of "La Vie En Rose" and I'm working on not "snorting" out my nose after the first ten minutes of practice. And my tone sucks, of course. And squeaking... well that goes without saying. I haven't even started to practice tonguing or other non-diaphragm stops. Glissando is lightyears away. Bending... well I can do it on a harmonica, so I'm hoping that's a leg-up somehow. But on draws only. And drawing on the clarinet is... I'm not an expert but that seems pretty rare. This video is like... I pin it on the wall and say "someday, maybe... maybe not."

[@chrisgable1]

We all start somewhere my friend - and I assure you I was plenty crap for a long time...! Keep at it, and enjoy the knowledge that if you can play clarinet at all you can immediately play sax.

man I started playing clarinet in 2nd grade and quit in the summer from 8th grade to 9th. I wish I kept playing, I was so good. not this good, but still I should have kept it up, I quit because i was sick of playing it in school band. also something weird happened to it where it just won't work properly.

[@chrisgable1]

Clarinets are hard to play at the best of times, but if something isn't working properly they're a nightmare. And yeah I also got sick of clarinet when I was about 15, it's not the coolest instrument in the band...! I can strongly recommend sax which is both cooler and WAAAY easier to play.
