Believe I read somewhere that the Polka music catagory was being dropped
from a major awards show. (Grammy Awards??)

Say it ain't so.

Sadly, it's so.

As of 2009, "Best Polka Album" was dropped as a category.

Damned injustice I say.

Let's start a protest movement!!

SAVE THE POLKA ALBUM!!!

You can send your donations, cashier's checks only, made out to me and
I'll get the ball rolling.

Think of it as a stimulus package for polka lover's everywhere.

Here's some categories they can do without.

Best Classical Vocal Performance, Best Classical Performance, Operatic
or Choral, Best Opera Recording, Best Chamber Music Performance, Best
Classical Album, Best Classical Crossover Album.

Seriously, what the hell is Best Classical Crossover Album? Freestyle
rap of "Quanto un mortal può chiedere" from Verdi's "Alzira"?

Best Historical Album? WTH is best "historical" album? Reissues?

Pah....

It depends which type of Polka Category as well, Chicago, "Cleveland
Style", German, Polish, etc.etc.
LOL... Years ago, my kids bought a "Super Polkas" Album by Yankovic.
It's been passed around as the "green nylon socks" type gift at
Christmas since. Too dam funny.
