Milwaukee native Mike Schneider sings about too much “Christmas Kielbasa.” (Nathaniel Davauer/ The Mike Schneider band. )
MILWAUKEE COUNTY, WI A man consumes a large amount of Polish sausage to the point of dying. After his death, his wife empties his wallet and o single $1 bill falls out. The tragic tale is sung by accordionist Mike Schneider in his song, Christmas Kielbasa.
The underlying message is: Don t eat too much kielbasa.
The Milwaukee native, who now lives in Clinton, has played the accordion since he was 6. His father, also an accordionist, would bring out the musical instrument from time to time when Schneider was a tot.
