Happy Birthday, Jimmy! You're still "Living on Polka Time," and honestly, we wouldn't have it any other way. With more Grammy wins than most people have polka dots in their wardrobe, you've proven that the accordion is mightier (and definitely cooler) than ever imagined.From your legendary performances with Jimmy Sturr & His Orchestra to making America dance one lively step at a time—your music has kept toes tapping for decades. May this birthday bring you as much joy as you've given us through every upbeat melody and unforgettable show. Keep squeezing out those hits—we're all ears!
