Father's Day will be celebrated on Sunday June 21, 2009. As a result of continuous significant and extensive historical and musical research conducted for the Father's Day programs, find out WHY  the "perfect music genre" for Father's Day is found only on this program. Also, find out why  and how I challenged the other "blue collar" genre of music experts and what the results of that challenge were. The results?... you'll just have to just tune in to find out...

The following is a partial  PRESS RELEASE for the 21st Annual Father's Day Show:

In this time of national economic, political, and social uncertainty and aggravated stress, you can give your father, grandfather, and godfather a very special gift of music when you listen to and enjoy the "grandchild-tested and parent and grandparent-approved" Excel Award-winning program for outstanding multi-cultural programming, the European Ethnic Melodies Show, and the special presentation for the celebration of Father's Day to be broadcast on Tuesday June 16, 2009 from 7-10 P.M. on Binghamton University radio, WHRW, at 90.5 on the local FM dial and simulcast world-wide at www.whrwfm.org 

The 21st Annual Father's Day program will honor fathers, grandfathers, godfathers, fathers-in-law, and step-fathers with the widest range of the most memorable eclectic, dynamic life-force, multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality, and polka music in many styles and tempos from two continents from the past century and more of recorded music. Your immigrant-ancestor fathers, grandfathers, and godfathers will be honored and remembered as the members of the family who made the initial journey to America so many years ago...in search of a better life and freedom for our families.

 

How many songs of the Balto-Slavic heritage have been written to honor fathers, grandfathers, and godfathers? From A to Z, starting with the Oberkrainer music of Slavko Avsenik , the World's Polka and Waltz King,  and ending with Eddie Zima  in just the polka music category, and then when you include all of the Lithuanian, Estonian, Latvian, Slovak, Czech, Moravian, Carpatho-Rusyn (Pod Karpatska Rus), Ukrainian, Russian,  Croatian, Byelo-Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Dalmatian, Slovenian, Serbian, and the areas of the country formerly known as Jugo-Slavia...well ,...you'll just have to listen to the show on the Tuesday evening of June 16, 2009 from 7-10 at www.whrwfm.org  for the answer.

 

A hint...When compared with and to ALL of the other genres of music for Father's Day, including C&W music , no other genre of music has as many songs to honor fathers, grandfathers, and godfathers. It's something to think about and to be proud of as you enjoy all the multi-ethnic music for Father's Day!!!

A NATION-WIDE Press Conference and Challenge to Country & Western Music  as the PERFECT GENRE OF MUSIC FOR FATHER'S DAY is also POSSIBLE. Stay tuned for details...

 

By the way, WHO ALSO HAS THE PERFECT GENRE OF MUSIC FOR MOTHER'S DAY?  (TAKE A GOOD GUESS!!!) Please note that the perfect genre of music for the Annual Mother's Day program, which was broadcast a few weeks ago, included ALL of the timeless treasures of multi-ethnic music of our Balto-Slavic heritage along with the most revered songs and hymns to honor the Blessed Mother during the entire month of May.

 

The special program for Father's Day IS emphatically, positively and DEFINITELY NOT "another polka show..." ...So, with all due respect and all respect due....have a  Happy Father's Day! 

 

As the European Ethnic Melodies Show celebrates ALL 5 seasons of the year, "I'd like to wish you all a very Happy Summer Solstice and a Very Happy Summer season.

P.S.  FYI:

In 2009, the European Ethnic Melodies Show is also proudly celebrating the 5th year of combining the basic and advanced principles of music therapy with the unlimited parameters of multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality, and polka music to create the very first, original, pioneer, proto-type program in the nation designed to SLOW DOWN the aging process of an aging nation and society. Basically, it's "Wealth-of-Health and Wellness 101 and 501" combined with "Unlimited dimensions, parameters, and directions of eclectic Euro-American multi-ethnic, folk, world, nationality, and polka music 101 and 501." 

That's just a sample of what is being done on the program to fight the day-to-day bouts with common pain and the ravages of aging, along with dementia, diminished capacity, depression, temporary and chronic mental fatigue, chronic pain, bi-polar disorder, and Alzheimer's disease.

How this anti-aging multi-ethnic music program originated and began is saved for another time and another place.

UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR MAY 2009

On May 1, 2008, the European Ethnic Melodies Show and host, Daniel Jan, received an EXCEL Award on the campus of Binghamton University for "outstanding multi-cultural programming at WHRW-FM."

"In 2009, proudly celebrating 22 years on the FM dial and the 12th year on the Internet at WHRW-FM."

All programs are broadcast on Tuesday evening from 7-10 P.M., locally at 90.5 on the FM dial and simulcast world-wide at www.whrwfm.org

1...May 5, 2009....Special programming for the annual  celebration of Mother's Day 2009.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

During  these troubled and insecure economic times, you are invited to enjoy a very special evening of memorable, uplifting, and happy  music for the cele-bration of Mother's Day on the European Ethnic Melodies Show. This program will be broadcast on Tuesday May 5, 2009 from 7-10 P. M.  locally in the Binghamton, New York area at 90.5 on the FM dial, and simulcast world-wide, to all the points of the compass, at www.whrwfm.org. The family-structured program is  "grandchild-tested and parent and grandparent-approved" world-class musical enjoyment for an inter-generational audience located on two continents.

 

The annual special program for Mother's Day on the European Ethnic Melodies Show,  the Excel Award-winning program for "outstanding multi-cultural programming at Binghamton University," will showcase the most eclectic and diverse selection of the very dynamic life-force, multi-ethnic folk,

world, nationality, and polka music from two continents from the past century and more of recorded music. The program's musical selections, all identified in  the native European languages and then translated into English, will definitely put a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and make you feel good all over--both physically and mentally.

 

The program will also honor the many European and American blue-collar, working-class musician-composer-bandleaders who took the time to write and then record their music in the many styles and tempos to honor their own family matriarchs in a very special way--with music. It should be noted that these blue-collar, working-class musician-composer-bandleaders in Europe and America also wrote their music under some very difficult and trying economic and political conditions, thereby making their many hundreds of timeless musical selections compiled for the special Mother's Day program to be "the one, true perfect genre of music for the celebration of Mother's Day."  

 

You may be interested in knowing that the many Balto-Slavic Euro-American recorded musical selections from the past century and more of recorded music to honor mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, step-mothers, and mothers-in-law comprise the largest number of musical selections for Mother's Day when compared to any other genre of music--anywhere.

 

For further information, please call  the producer, director, and host of the European Ethnic Melodies Show, Daniel Jan Walikis, at (607)729-2808. If you wish, you may also  email me at: www.Danieljanw@aol.com   My website is located at www.danieljan.com   

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

 

Sincerely,

Daniel Jan Walikis(BU-Class of '77)

 

P. S. The European Ethnic Melodies Show, broadcast since 1988 on Binghamton University radio, WHRW-FM, has also been simulcast on the Internet since 1998. The program has been known as an elder-friendly music show since 1988, long before anyone ever coined and copyrighted the term, "elder-friendly."

 

 In 2004, the show became the very first pioneer, proto-type program in the nation to combine the unlimited parameters of music therapy with multi-ethnic music in order to create the first multi-ethnic music and wealth-of-health wellness program in the nation designed to Slow Down the aging process as well as help an audience, including caregivers, cope with day-to-day ailments, stress, chronic pain, diminished capacity, dementia, and an extended list of other cognitive disorders.

 

 "Little did you ever think that the real music of your life, the timeless treasures of your heritage that 

you first learned at your babcia's (grandmother's) knee so many years ago, would be so very im-

portant to you in your later years---for all your health, heritage, music, and memories matter.

2...May 12, 2009...Second week of special programming for Mother's Day  2009

3...May 19, 2009...Regular weekly programming.

4...May 26, 2009 ... 21st ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM (The national celebration of Memorial Day will be celebrated this year on Monday, May 25th.)

F.Y..I. ...I ALWAYS celebrate Memorial Day on May 30th...the original day for Memorial Day....formerly known as Decoration Day...so my special program for Memorial Day 2009 will be held this year on Tuesday May 26, 2009.  If you go on line on the 'net, you will find numerous web sites that readily acknowledge that Memorial Day has become a national holiday day of "convenience." There are many people( yes, actually MILLIONS  of citizens )    interested in re-establishing May 30th as the OFFICIAL Memorial Day in order to render a special tribute to those veterans who paid the supreme sacrifice for this nation.

Having a "national minute of remembrance" at 3:00 P.M. on the last Monday of May, is, in my opinion, NOT THE SAME as honoring those who gave so much to and for this nation. A valid patriotic and true Memorial Day should be returned to the original day, May 30th of every year in the future. To do less than this is an insult of the worst kind to every veteran who paid the supreme sacrifice for this nation.

SO, THIS YEAR IN 2009, TO HONOR OUR VETERANS, LET'S ALL WORK TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH CONTACTING OUR NATION'S LEADERS AND URGE THEM TO BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL MEMORIAL DAY IN ORDER TO HONOR OUR NATION'S VETERANS THE TRADITIONAL WAY, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY, AND THE RIGHT WAY... BY HONORING AND  RE-ESTABLISHING MEMORIAL DAY AS THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY ONLY ON MAY 30th OF EVERY YEAR IN THE FUTURE.  IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN ORDER TO HONOR OUR NATION'S VETERANS WHO GAVE SO MUCH TO AND FOR THIS NATION!!!

On May 1, 2008, the European Ethnic Melodies Show and host, Daniel Jan, received an EXCEL Award on the campus of Binghamton University for "outstanding multi-cultural programming at WHRW-FM."

"In 2009, proudly celebrating 22 years on the FM dial and the 12th year on the Internet at WHRW-FM."

All programs are broadcast on Tuesday evening from 7-10 P.M., locally at 90.5 on the FM dial and simulcast world-wide at www.whrwfm.org

1...May 5, 2009....Special programming for the annual  celebration of Mother's Day 2009.

FOR YOUR INFORMATION:

During  these troubled and insecure economic times, you are invited to enjoy a very special evening of memorable, uplifting, and happy  music for the cele-bration of Mother's Day on the European Ethnic Melodies Show. This program will be broadcast on Tuesday May 5, 2009 from 7-10 P. M.  locally in the Binghamton, New York area at 90.5 on the FM dial, and simulcast world-wide, to all the points of the compass, at www.whrwfm.org. The family-structured program is  "grandchild-tested and parent and grandparent-approved" world-class musical enjoyment for an inter-generational audience located on two continents.

 

The annual special program for Mother's Day on the European Ethnic Melodies Show,  the Excel Award-winning program for "outstanding multi-cultural programming at Binghamton University," will showcase the most eclectic and diverse selection of the very dynamic life-force, multi-ethnic folk,

world, nationality, and polka music from two continents from the past century and more of recorded music. The program's musical selections, all identified in  the native European languages and then translated into English, will definitely put a smile on your face, a song in your heart, and make you feel good all over--both physically and mentally.

 

The program will also honor the many European and American blue-collar, working-class musician-composer-bandleaders who took the time to write and then record their music in the many styles and tempos to honor their own family matriarchs in a very special way--with music. It should be noted that these blue-collar, working-class musician-composer-bandleaders in Europe and America also wrote their music under some very difficult and trying economic and political conditions, thereby making their many hundreds of timeless musical selections compiled for the special Mother's Day program to be "the one, true perfect genre of music for the celebration of Mother's Day."  

 

You may be interested in knowing that the many Balto-Slavic Euro-American recorded musical selections from the past century and more of recorded music to honor mothers, grandmothers, godmothers, step-mothers, and mothers-in-law comprise the largest number of musical selections for Mother's Day when compared to any other genre of music--anywhere.

 

For further information, please call  the producer, director, and host of the European Ethnic Melodies Show, Daniel Jan Walikis, at (607)729-2808. If you wish, you may also  email me at: www.Danieljanw@aol.com   My website is located at www.danieljan.com   

 

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

 

Sincerely,

Daniel Jan Walikis(BU-Class of '77)

 

P. S. The European Ethnic Melodies Show, broadcast since 1988 on Binghamton University radio, WHRW-FM, has also been simulcast on the Internet since 1998. The program has been known as an elder-friendly music show since 1988, long before anyone ever coined and copyrighted the term, "elder-friendly."

 

 In 2004, the show became the very first pioneer, proto-type program in the nation to combine the unlimited parameters of music therapy with multi-ethnic music in order to create the first multi-ethnic music and wealth-of-health wellness program in the nation designed to Slow Down the aging process as well as help an audience, including caregivers, cope with day-to-day ailments, stress, chronic pain, diminished capacity, dementia, and an extended list of other cognitive disorders.

 

 "Little did you ever think that the real music of your life, the timeless treasures of your heritage that 

you first learned at your babcia's (grandmother's) knee so many years ago, would be so very im-

portant to you in your later years---for all your health, heritage, music, and memories matter.

2...May 12, 2009...Second week of special programming for Mother's Day  2009

3...May 19, 2009...Regular weekly programming.

4...May 26, 2009 ... 21st ANNUAL MEMORIAL DAY PROGRAM (The national celebration of Memorial Day will be celebrated this year on Monday, May 25th.)

F.Y..I. ...I ALWAYS celebrate Memorial Day on May 30th...the original day for Memorial Day....formerly known as Decoration Day...so my special program for Memorial Day 2009 will be held this year on Tuesday May 26, 2009.  If you go on line on the 'net, you will find numerous web sites that readily acknowledge that Memorial Day has become a national holiday day of "convenience." There are many people( yes, actually MILLIONS  of citizens )    interested in re-establishing May 30th as the OFFICIAL Memorial Day in order to render a special tribute to those veterans who paid the supreme sacrifice for this nation.

Having a "national minute of remembrance" at 3:00 P.M. on the last Monday of May, is, in my opinion, NOT THE SAME as honoring those who gave so much to and for this nation. A valid patriotic and true Memorial Day should be returned to the original day, May 30th of every year in the future. To do less than this is an insult of the worst kind to every veteran who paid the supreme sacrifice for this nation.

SO, THIS YEAR IN 2009, TO HONOR OUR VETERANS, LET'S ALL WORK TO BECOME INVOLVED WITH CONTACTING OUR NATION'S LEADERS AND URGE THEM TO BRING BACK THE ORIGINAL MEMORIAL DAY IN ORDER TO HONOR OUR NATION'S VETERANS THE TRADITIONAL WAY, THE OLD-FASHIONED WAY, AND THE RIGHT WAY... BY HONORING AND  RE-ESTABLISHING MEMORIAL DAY AS THE NATIONAL HOLIDAY ONLY ON MAY 30th OF EVERY YEAR IN THE FUTURE.  IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IN ORDER TO HONOR OUR NATION'S VETERANS WHO GAVE SO MUCH TO AND FOR THIS NATION!!!

UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR FEBRUARY 2009

On May 1, 2008, the European Ethnic Melodies Show and host, Daniel Jan, received an EXCEL Award on the campus of Binghamton University for "outstanding multi-cultural programming at WHRW-FM."

"In 2009, proudly celebrating over 21 years on the FM dial and the 11th year on the Internet at WHRW-FM."

All programs are broadcast on Tuesday evening from 7-10 P.M., locally at 90.5 on the FM dial and simulcast world-wide at www.whrwfm.org

The Upcoming Schedule for February 2009 is as follows: 

1...February 3, 2009...Regular programming, including the celebration of the 5th season of the year, "Fasching Zeit." The "fifth season" is a very happy time of parties, good times, and merriment PRIOR to the start of the 40 days of Lent. If you were living in Europe with lots of snow on the ground and you were developing "cabin fever syndrome"  after the celebration of Christmas and Epiphany, you probably would want to get out of the house and just generally shake off the winter blahs. You would do this with some good music of your heritage and some friendly-spirited fun, along with the friendly spirits of grain alcohol or other fermented brews. 

Also, I presented my very first "Anti-Grammy Awards Show" with ALL of the original vinyl polka music recordings from the 1950's that should have, but never received ANY awards.The name of the special show was called "Daniel Jan's Grampy Awards" with abums containing original  polka music written and recorded by polka band leaders .The music for this  special show contained NO "doo-wop or hee-haw music,"that is, music previously recorded as rock and country  selections and then dumbed-down into 2/4 tempo polka music . These same songs  would then win Grammy Awards for the polka bands during the past 18 years. Why would anyone want to record these same second-hand, warmed-up, left-over hash music selections in a polka beat? Think about it!!!!! And, I've been speaking out  AGAINST the Grammy Awards since 1994. Is it time the Grammy Award for Polka Music bit the dust and left the building? It's long overdue, NO????

2...February 10, 2009....Special programming for the celebration of St. Valentine's Day entitled: "Songs To Celebrate St. Valentine's Day 2009, From The Music Of Your Cultural Heritage." This special program features THE MOST diverse eclectic selection of the very dynamic life-force European multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality, and polka music of your Balto-Slavic heritage from the past century and more of recorded music.

As always, identity for an inter-generational, world-wide audience is very important, for ALL the names of ALL the "songs of love" are identified in English and the native European language, as well as ALL the names of ALL the musicians, bands, choral groups, and vocalists, along with the native European instruments along with the country and region of origin. 3...February 17, 2009...Regular programming, including the celebration of the 5th season of the year, "Fasching Zelt."

 

4...February 24, 2009... Special programming for the celebration of  "Mardi Gras, European-style." The pre-Lenten celebration of the end of Fasching Time includes ALL the traditions, customs, and music of ALL the Balto-Slavic, Germanic, and other heritages from Europe who celebrate the hours, day, days, and week before Lent in some very special ways.

You'll enjoy the widest range and most diverse selection of multi-ethnic Christmas and holiday music for the celebration of both the Gregorian and Orthodox(Julian) calendar Christmas and the program celebrates this special time of the year with the finest in traditional carols, hymns, and songs from both Europe and the USA. In addition to all of the music for Advent, Christmas, the New Year, and Epiphany, the entire family will also enjoy the timeless and treasured traditions and customs from Europe which have been preserved over the years by our ancestors. These cus-toms and traditions will be woven into the musical mosaic of all the programs during the six-week presentation.

New dimensions and paradigms continue to be added to the program, including the Oberkrainer music for Christmas performed by many ensembles from Slovenia. The programs continue to feature rare and vintage recordings of Christmas and holiday music from the past century of recorded music as well as the traditional Christmas music played on national instruments such as the bandura, brac, balalaika, gajduk, zither, cymbalova(dulcimer), harmonike, kankelis, and tambura.

On the pioneer and original proto-type, multi-ethnic anti-aging show in the nation, the program's holiday music selections will feature all the eclectic, dynamic life-force music of your cultural heritage aong with vignettes of very positive wealth-of-health wellness information designed to slow down the aging process and to help with many of the problems associated with seasonal, family, personal, economic, and health-related holiday stress.

It's prime-time evening "grandchild-tested, and parent and grandparent-approved" programming with all of the timeless traditional musical treasures combined with all the beautiful memories associated with the celebration of Advent, Christmas, the New Year, and Epiphany.

Remember, it's the European Ethnic Melodies Show....for all your health, heritage, music , and memories matter.... and especially for this very special season and time of the year.
