UPCOMING SCHEDULE FOR FEBRUARY 2010

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 2010, proudly celebrating over 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

The Upcoming Schedule for February 2010 is as follows: 

***February 12, 2010 begins the First Day of the 2010 Winter Olympics, also known as the XXI Winter Olympics , in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. The European Ethnic Melodies Show is very honored and prould to be one of the very few radio, podcast, and Internet shows to feature original Olympic music for the Olympics. So, expect to be entertained with music for the Olympics, including songs about the winter sports for the month of February 2010.***

1...February 2, 2010...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.  

February 2, 2010 is also identifed and celebrated as "Groundhog Day" in the  United States.The European origins of the day similar to Groundhog Day  will be identified  on the program.

2...February 9, 2010....Special programming for the celebration of St. Valentine's Day entitled: "Songs To Celebrate St. Valentine's Day 2010, From The Music Of Your Cultural Heritage." St. Valentine's Day is celebrated on Sunday, February 14, 2010. This special program features THE MOST diverse eclectic selection of the very dynamic life-force Euro-American multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality, and polka music of your Balto-Slavic heritage from the past century and more of recorded music. 

The program will also honor the Feast Day of the two saints, Cyril and Methodius, also celebrated on February 14, 2010.The two brothers from Thessalonika brought Christianity and the Slavic language to the peoples in Central, Southern, and Southeastern Europe.

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.

A REMINDER: During this week across the nation, there will be a lot of "copy cat" polka, polka variety, and other polka shows locally and on the Internet who will try to imitate the great diversity and the unlimited selections of dynamic life-force Euro-American multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality and polka music for the celebration of St.Valentine's Day. Simply stated, if polka bands are known for copying each other's music, changing song titles of original songs , and then taking credit for writing someone else's original music, then you can be sure that the dj's and the ij's are going to do the same and copy someone else's show style and format.

Am I overjoyed and happy that the Grammy Award for "polka music" was dropped in 2009? Winning a Grammy Award in the past years in the "Polka Music" category was basically, in my opinion, a means/way to become famous by creating a recording and copying someone else's "warmed-up left-over hash doo-wop and hee-haw music" in polka tempos. It might have fooled the NARAS people for a while but , unfortunately all good things(God Help Us!) had to come to an end. These people have A BAD CASE OF TMPOTM(toooooo many polkas on the mind)!!!

3...February 16, 2010... 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.

Again, a full range of the very eclectic dynamic life-force Euro-American multi-ethnic folk world, nationality, and polka music music will be presented for this special evening before the beginning of Ash Wednesday and the 40 days of Lent, according to the Gregorian calendar.

4...February 23, 2010...Regular  programming continues, including multi-ethnic religious music for Lent and the Great Fast.

P. S.

And, MY DEAR FRIENDS AND MUSIC LOVERS, in this year 2009, the health-related holiday stress, combined with MOST of the negative media(newspaper, television, radio, and even found on the Internet) reporting "selected negative news stories" while ignoring other far more important and positive news stories in 2009, may lead you to look for news agencies which deal with positive, but factually accurate, news and information. If you feel that "something is not quite right with the news, " AND the way(manner) the news is being presented, you are probably correct. Simply use your brain and "go after the news and the media " which you feel most comfortable with. You'll find it-I'm sure!

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.

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.

 

 And yes, the program will also feature the widest range of eclectic dynamic life-force multi-ethnic folk, world, nationality, and polka music for the celebration of summer.

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.

"In 2009, The European Ethnic Melodies Show proudly celebrates 22 years on the FM dial and the 12th year on the Internet at WHRW-FM."

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

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...
