Synopsis

Album Description

Dick "The Polka Pilot" Suhay began playing the piano accordion at the age of 5, in his hometown of Euclid, Ohio. Influenced by Frankie Yankovic and other pioneers of Cleveland Style Polka, Dick started his own band at the age of 18. In 1955, he joined the U.S. Air Force where he spent 26 years as a fighter pilot. Now retired, he has a polka band and lives in California, Dick has remained close to his musical roots in Cleveland. For this special recording, he returned to his hometown and recorded with Dan Wojtila on tenor saxophone, Ted Carrillo on banjo and Bo Wolfand on guitar - all names widely known to fans of Cleveland Style Polka.Brentwood Communications, Inc., Newbury Park, CA.

CD Reviews

Room-filling sound

Bill Smythe | Chicago | 04/08/2002

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Cleveland-style polkas are, of course, the greatest music ever. Dick Suhay makes the most of it here, with some Cleveland classics. The bass rhythm sounds as though it is produced, not by a tuba or a bass fiddle, but by the pedals of an electronic organ. The effect is startling, making even a small boom-box sound like an auditorium-style audio system with 3-foot speakers. The rest of the organ makes frequent appearances, too, as do good old-fashioned vocals. There's plenty of polka and waltz entertainment in these 25 tracks."

Quite a Surprise!

"Although I am familiar with polka music, I never thought of myself as someone who would enjoy it. However, after hearing this CD I have become hooked. The music has great flavor and was a blast to listen to. Believe you me, I was surprised. What a great CD! If I like it, I am sure that the polka lovers will too."

"... you'll really like this CD! The quality instrumentation and selection of familiar Cleveland style polkas and waltzes is excellent. It ranks right up there with the music of other great Ohio polka bands!"
