BUFFALO, N.Y. — This would have been the tenth year in a row playing Dyngus Day for the band Hocus Polkas. Instead, they're doing things a little differently this year.
Usually, Hocus Polkas are in the middle of the party, in the parade, then on stage at the Adam Mickiewicz Library on the East Side of Buffalo, dodging pussy willows and enjoying kielbasa and perogi in between tunes.
Even though they can't do it in person this year, they recorded a virtual version of the song "Who Stole the Kishka." You can find it on their Facebook page.
"Dyngus Day is our day, it's our big celebration," Lead Singer Mike Morrissey told 2 On Your Side. "That's why we wanted to do something special, and try to reach out to our friends and our fans and try to give them something to celebrate."
"Dyngus Day is just all about having a good time and it's not a serious holiday." said trumpet player Andrew Leon. "It's a day to just laugh at yourself, so we just had a little bit of fun with the video. Maybe it will just bring a little smile to everybody's face and just remember the fun that you have during Dyngus Day."
