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.

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!!!
