Jimmy SturrJimmy Sturr Show Brought True Meaning To Christmas
He lives just down the road from us and last week he received his 21st Grammy nomination for Best Polka Album.
Jimmy Sturr from nearby Florida NY is certainly known best as the renowned "Polka King" in musical circles throughout the world but his production of The Jimmy Sturr Christmas Show at the historic City of Middletown Paramount Theatre on December 1 was more than just a brilliant musical presentation.
This great coordinator of musical presentations and many of the best musicians in the world that make up his band certainly did not back into the shadows of the "Politically Correct" who now shun Christmas and the true meaning of this great holiday.
The Christmas show and Sturr's brand new CD, "Polka Christmas In My Hometown" proudly feature Christian Christmas favorites like "O Holy Night", "Sleep Little Jesus", "Little Boy Jesus", "Away In The Manger", "Hail The Day of His Birth", "Joy To The World" and "Little Town of Bethlehem."
The Christmas Show at the Paramount also featured some great dancing by the The Irish Step Dancers and Matt and Elaine and the Polka Today Dancers along with the Jimmy Sturr Singers.
The eloquent music of the famous Mills Brothers added that special touch to an audience that sang along with favorites like "Cab Driver" , "Glow Worm" and " Lazy River".
Jimmy also paid deep respect to our country with his opening song "God Bless America" and later in the show paid tribute to all our Military.
Jimmy Sturr and his orchestra have made many friends world wide and his over 113 recordings has been recognized and rewarded throughout the very competitive music industry.
The fact that this musical organization is on the "Top Ten" list of all-time Grammy Awards, has won 16 Grammy Awards and has received more consecutive Grammy nominations than anyone in the history of musical awards has made the music industry sit up and take notice of the great Jimmy Sturr and His Orchestra.
And with all the fame he hasn't moved away from his home town in Florida (Orange County) New York and still lives in the house he grew up in. His office is across the street from the high school he attended and his hometown recently honored Jimmy a "Star of Fame" in the walkway on Main Street. They also display "Hometown Of Polka King Jimmy Sturr" signs at each entrance the village.
And of course he has his own TV show, on the Dish network on Channel 231 and on Direct TV channel 379 on Friday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 10 a.m.
The combination of great accommodations and seating at the historic Paramount Theatre in Middletown and some of the greatest music in the world by JimmySturr and His Orchestra truly set the stage for the start of a beautiful Christmas Holiday season.
