“Li’l Wally” Jagiello was Chicago’s polka king, yet somehow Sean never heard of him until happening upon this album while out for a day of normal record shopping. So for this episode he takes a look into this oddly-titled album, and takes a mini-dive into Christmas albums. It’s time to live it up! (You know what I mean?)

In this Christmas-themed My Weird Record Collection, Sean takes a dive into records he had as a child, courtesy of Mr. Pickwick. You wouldn’t think children’s records would be considered weird.
