Dear Polkamotion by the Ocean Fans,

As of this writing, the Rehoboth Beach, DE municipality complex, including the convention center,

is still closed due to Covid-19 precautions. Management has no plans to reopen anytime soon

and all planned events have been canceled through early September. As a courtesy to all our fans

and friends, we think it's best to postpone Polkamotion by the Ocean until next year so folks

can make their summer plans without waiting until later in the 2021 season. God willing,

next year's festival dates will be September 14 - 17, 2022.  

Best regards,

Mike Matousek

Dear Polkamotion Fans...

We've been in constant contact with the folks who manage the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center

concerning the feasibility of conducting Polkamotion by the Ocean this September.

Due to COVID-19 precautions, the center is still closed and a decision to try to reopen

won't be made until mid-August. Even if they are able to reopen, they are extremely pessimistic

about their ability to manage the mandated restrictions governing indoor gatherings.

Given these obstacles, all parties agree that the prudent thing to do is to cancel this

year's polka festival in Rehoboth Beach. Since a significant portion of our polka fan base is

the most vulnerable to the current virus, we believe this decision is the safest

option as well. Please mark your calendars for September 15 - 18, 2021

when Polkamotion by the Ocean returns to Rehoboth Beach.

Stay well and God bless!

Prayers are powerful ~ please continue!

Here is the most recent update on Dan Gury from his son,

Matt:

Heart rate has been low so a pace maker was put in yesterday and it went well.

The doctors are now happy with his heart rate. Aphasia is what is giving him trouble

with speaking and finding the right words to say. However, he had speech therapy today,

and the therapist was impressed at how well he was doing since the first time she saw him.

Right hand and foot are making slight improvements everyday. He slowly rotated his right wrist

and can lift his right leg about 6 inches currently. We're hoping that he

will be transferred to rehab tomorrow.

----------------------------------------------

Posted 12/23/18

Please continue praying for Dan Gury.

This update is from this evening, from his son,

Matt: Update on my dad:

His last CT scan yesterday morning showed non threatening signs of swelling. There is 1 more CT scan scheduled for tomorrow morning to check but they think he already hit the high end of the swelling threshold. Speech is weak and frustrating for him at this time. He knows how to say very few words, but we can see him try to say things to us, gets frustrated, and says $h__. He can say yes, no, well, ok, and mhmm if you ask him a question. Sing slowly to him and he will join in if he knows the words, not clearly, but clear enough to know he's singing with you. Although, i did get him to count to 10 in Polish by helping him and he did continue to count a few on his own without my help. Yesterday we got him to move his right toes and ankle. Today we could see him try to move his lower right leg, but still not able to yet. H

e is on a puree diet as his swallow test came back not strong enough for regular food. We all appreciate the kind words and prayers everyone has been saying for us. Until the next update...

Love, the Gurys.

~PRAYERS PLEASE~

Great musician, leader of Dan Gury & The Dyna Dukes, and an all around great guy,

Dan Gury, needs your immediate prayers.

Please include his wife Carol, son Matt, and their family, in your thoughts and prayers, as well.

This is from Matt last night:

It makes me very sad to post news like this, but my dad, Dan Gury, suffered a severe stroke last night

December 19th. He is going through ct scans to monitor his brain swelling and we're all praying

for the best that surgery is not required. Please keep our

dad in your thoughts and prayers.

In April, The DynaBrass was notified that the band had been awarded the 2017 International Polka Association (IPA) Awards in 2 

categories; The “Dance All Night” CD received the 2017 IPA Favorite Polish Style CD. The title song “Dance All Night” received the
