Unfortunately, I can't remember if it was the bride or groom's family that was from UP NORTH...regardless, apparently there's a traditional polka that is traditionally played at traditional weddings in the Pittsburgh area, and some representatives of tradition set upon JB shortly before the Illbillys began playing, good-naturedly demanding that this polka be played...despite the fact that nobody south of Gettysburg even knows what a polka is. Here JB explains that playing a song that none of the band has ever heard before would prove difficult.
