Breaking News

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!

Mike Matousek

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.

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.

Press Release

Dance All Night

DynaBrass releases new CD on TOPOMO Records

Toledo, OH, June 26, 2017: TOPOMO Records is excited to announce the release of “Dance

All Night” a new full length recording by The DynaBrass. This new CD was recorded at PowerBox Studio

in Ridgeville Corners, Ohio.

This new CD is a collection of 15 songs, a dozen polkas, two obereks and a waltz. This studio project

features 10 songs never previously recorded by a polka band, including 7 originals by The DynaBrass,

which gives this recording a fresh new sound. You will certainly find some polka favorites on this disc,

such as “Playboy Polka”, “Out Til Dawn”, “Please Stop The World”, “Left Handed Oberek” and “Another

Good Old Polka Medley”.

The title song “Dance All Night” has a very catchy melody with some built-in crowd participation.

Based on early responses from live performances, “Dance All Night” is destined to be a fan favorite.

Joe Zalewski and Ted Lange teamed up for several original songs including “Follow Me To The

Party”, “You Are Always With Me”, “A Bottle of Red Oberek”, “Hands Of Time” and the new DynaBrass

break song “Follow Me To The Bar”, which is guaranteed to leave you walking away singing Bar, Bar,

Bar, Bar. AJ Zalewski worked with Ted and Joe to pen another original (his first) entitled “A Simple Love”.

Other songs that will grab your attention include Dale Kivinen’s rendition of the Tracy Bird hit “Holdin’

Heaven, an Alabama classic, “Old Flame” and Isla Grant’s “An Accordion Started to Play Waltz”.

Jeff Mleczko Update: Jeff is doing fantastic. While there is no timetable for his return to the

stage, he continues to make significant progress with his rehabilitation efforts. Jeff and his family would

like to extend a heartfelt thank you for all the support that Jeff has received over the past year and a half.

The DynaBrass 2017 Schedule: The DynaBrass, under the interim leadership of Joe Zalewski,

is maintaining a full performance schedule and actively booking engagements. A copy of the DynaBrass

2017 schedule is enclosed.

How to Purchase the CD: Anyone interested in purchasing the new DynaBrass CD can do so

by mailing a check payable to "TOPOMO Records" c/o Joe Zalewski, 5524 Ginger Tree Lane, Toledo,

OH 43623. The “Dance All Night” CD’s are $18 each and the price includes shipping and handling.

Thank you for your continued support of Polka Music and The DynaBrass!
