Good Morning! Today we are celebrating the Chinese New Year in a program titled "In the Year of the Dragon"
Patrick White 7:26:58 AM
Greetings to Marvin and listeners.Happy Healthy Prosperous Lunar New Year to all.
Marvin Rosen (host) 7:33:19 AM
Yes, a Happy Lunar New Year to all!
Rob from Maryland 🦅 8:14:44 AM
Good morning
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:14:58 AM
Hi Rob!
Richard from Rocky Hill 8:43:22 AM
@ Marvin Rosen (host) Thanks for this morning's recognition of the Lunar New Year and many tremendous Asian and Asian-heritage composers/musicians. May the Year of the Dragon bring us all health & prosperity (and the world some peace, please ...).
Marvin Rosen (host) 8:46:02 AM
Yes, definitely health and peace!!!
Richard from Rocky Hill 9:01:04 AM
@ Marvin Rosen (host): I loved the title (and the composition) "Homage to Anonymous Ancient Fiddlers." Bill Monroe, the father of bluegrass music, who wrote many fiddle tunes, used to refer to the way old-time square dancer fiddlers would get drone notes going on the lower strings and double-stopped two-note mini-chords on top of them -- and their overall use of model scales -- as "the ancient tones."
Marvin Rosen (host) 9:06:50 AM
Thanks so much Richard for the background!!
Patrick White 9:08:30 AM
Great message by Richard.Anyone interested this Saturday the Princeton Public Library will be having a Lunar New Year Celebration
Richard from Rocky Hill 9:10:18 AM
@ Marvin Rosen (host) Well, it's only about 1/1000th of the background & education on classical music I've received from your superb program. Many thanks.
Patrick White 9:50:55 AM

Marvin Rosen (host) 9:54:13 AM
Thank you so much for joining me today! I will be with you next on Monday from 7:00am to 12:00 pm for the first of 2 programs totally devoted to music by American composers!
