Our gaucho amigo Marvin Rosen is the most innovative and knowledgeable music programmer in the universe but who knew that he aspired to become the new music world’s Jerry Lewis? 

Marvin is hosting a special 24-hour marathon edition of his terrific radio program Classical Discoveries titled “Viva 21st century,” which will air on WPRB out of Princeton, NJ beginning at 6:00 pm on Thursday, December 27 and will conclude at 6:00 pm on Friday, December 28.

Sympathizers and fellow travelers who don’t live in the Princeton area can listen to the show online at www.wprb.com The program includes works from only the 21st century from all over the world.  (Got that, only works from the last seven years.)

If you’d like to submit selections for possible airplay on the show please email Marvin at marvinrosen@classicaldiscoveries.org  

Here are the Marvin rules:  The selections must be on a regular CD with all tracks and notes on the music in a traycard.  Submitting a CD does not guarantee the music will be aired.  In addition no CDs will be returned. All CDs for consideration for this program must be received by Saturday, December 22.

Can Marvin stay awake?  Will he explain why he is doing such a silly thing?  Will Frank and Jerry show up in a misguided display of solidarity?  You’ll just have to tune in and find out.
