Mr. Polka wants your pierogi vote

Photobucket

It’s not every day that you get a craven e-mail blast personal message from Jimmy Sturr, the 18-Grammy-winning polka king, so when you do, you pay attention:

Please help our sponsor out with this contest.

Jimmy Sturr
Gus Kosior V.P.
UPA Productions

He’s referring to the entry for Mrs. T’s Pierogies in the Best of Schuylkill County 2009 contest. (That’s category No. 17, Best Producer of a Schuylkill County Product, just past the Auto Body, Auto Dealers New, Auto Dealers Pre-owned, Auto Parts and Auto Repair/Service fields.)

Only one vote per IP address.

The polka king wins again

Photobucket

Jimmy Sturr just won the best polka album Grammy for the 18th time. When I interviewed him about it three years ago, he had already stopped going to the awards because he was such a shoo-in every time.
