Polka and a Kiss: Celebrated Musician Releases Unforgettable Christmas Gift

SYRACUSE, N.Y., Sept. 8, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Musician Phil Klein has seen many Christmases in his 84 years. He's also written many songs - more than 100, has a repertoire of 3,000-plus songs and has performed for thousands of people. His musical flair is reflected most recently in the upbeat polka song "The Mistletoe Polka."

"'The Mistletoe Polka' has a melody that sticks with you - in a good way," said Klein. "As a consumer myself, I understand the frustration with retailers promoting Christmas earlier and earlier each year. But my 'Mistletoe Polka' has such an engaging, contagious melody that people tell me they enjoy listening to it all year round."

Of course, "The Mistletoe Polka" is a great Christmas gift for polka enthusiasts as well as anyone who simply appreciates music with a jaunty beat. Polka fans observe that you don't have to dance the polka to appreciate the rhythm of polka music.

"In fact," Klein added, "during these trying economic times this song is uplifting and humorous. It may not solve our economic woes, but it sure can brighten someone's day."

That's exactly what the performer has been doing for decades, and Klein shows no signs of slowing down. Known as central New York's "Premier Piano Man," Klein's music transcends generations. His OURMUSIC program includes vocals and instrumentals, anecdotes of famous composers and lyricists, and Klein's audience-pleasing humor.

"The Mistletoe Polka," with nostalgic and universal appeal, follows in Klein's audience-friendly tradition, offering listeners optimistic lyrics and a matching cheerful melody.
