“Kol’kor kaplic tol’ko let” is a traditional Slovenian drinking toast, which is often sung at parties, festivals, gigs, and so on. It translates roughly to “as many drops as years”, as to say “let us be blessed with as many years as there are drops in this glass”.

This is a traditional Austrian polka which goes by at least 3 different names: Pretuler Polka, Stoarigler Polka and Radltruchn Polka. It is often played fast but doesn’t have to be. If someone knows what the names mean, let me know so that I can it add to this description. I assume they are names of Austrian towns (?). Edit: It turns out that ‘Pretuler’ means ‘ditch’ in Styria, and Radltruchnpolka means ‘Wheelbarrow polka’ 😅 (thanks Sigi R).

This is one of the most popular waltzes by the Avsenik brothers, from their 1974 album. It is an extremely heartfelt song with a beautiful melody and lyrics describing Slovenia’s unique beauty.
Thank you to my supporters who have sent so many messages asking for me to create learning material for this song. I hope the sheets and tutorial video helps you learn this song, including its challenging diminished chords and its ending in D flat.

This is a song by Jože Burnik, iconic Oberkrainer music composer and accordionist (Alpenoberkrainer, Heimatlandecho, Ansambel Jožeta Burnika). Thank you to Jože who provided his own original sheet music for me to use in this video. Here is a free playthrough video of this song 35bpm with Jože’s notation, in the original key of F, split into 3 parts.
This polka by Vito Muženič (Dobri Znanci, Ansambel Vita Muženiča, and clarinet player in Avsenik’s early 90s studio ensemble) translates to ‘To Koper’ (Koper is a port city in Slovenia, and its Italian name is Capodistria).
