Father Jan Pavelchak and his two daughters, Tanya and Jana, formed a group in 1992. During this time, they've played more than 2100 musical productions, weddings, balls, family celebrations, and also many concerts. In their wide repertoire, you'll find arranged folk songs, but also disco gypsy songs. country and modern compositions. Their flexibility is reflected in their performances by always trying to adapt the repertoire to the venue and the composition of the audience.
The reward for them is the satisfaction of the listeners. Their goal is for us to remember quality singing. Here's the music group Pavel Chakovci. This is Kevin with FCSU Financial. The month of April this year celebrates the most religious holiday. As we are still in Lent and hopefully as good Slovak Catholics, we are taking time every day to reflect on our lives.
We realize in our upbringing that we are only on this earth for a short time. This month is the perfect time to reflect on how we treat others. In this most holy month, do we treat each other with respect and value? Or do we spread falsehoods to better our own personal gains? At the end of each day, especially during Lent, I ask myself, would God be proud of me today? I wish you and your family a happy and blessed day.

Υπότιτλοι AUTHORWAVE Last month was Women's History Month, but I thought this was a rather fascinating story. Thomas Edison invented the phonograph in 1877.
This was the first machine which could record and reproduce sound. Nowadays, if we want to listen to music, we can just switch on the internet, which offers an endless choice of songs. When Panatsinka was born in 1711, such technology did not exist. The only way to hear music was to have musicians play it live, and therefore the skill of musicians was highly prized.
Panacinka started playing violin at a young age, and by the time she was nine years old, she was already showing signs of becoming a virtuoso violinist. but there were many obstacles on the path to her dream. Panacinca was from a Roma family. It was fine to love music, but at that time, it was expected that women would only dance and sing. Playing an instrument was for men only.
However, Panacinka would not let go of her ambition. She continued to practice and got better and better. She soon became known beyond her home village. News of a miraculous girl and her magical music spread across the region, and she even gained a place at the music school in Nuroznava, a very rare opportunity for a Roma girl. The school gave her wings, and Panitsinka started a band with other members of her musical family.
She designed their uniforms based on military styles and performed on her violin while smoking a pipe. The band played traditional folk tunes, but always added something new and unexpected. Don't think for a moment that this was an ordinary village band going around playing at weddings and funerals.
This famed group of musicians, led by a pipe-smoking woman, traveled all the way to Imperial Vienna. The band was invited to play for the Empress Maria Theresa herself in the grand halls of her palace. Panatsinka changed how people saw music. She was an innovator. Today, she has a statue in Gemma, Eastern Slovakia. She is the only Roma person to have a statue built in her honor in the whole country. I've never really heard of any other really famous Slovak women musicians.
but there are quite a few men that fall into that category. One of the best in my book, at least, is John Berkey-Merenica.

There dying fire in need of logs, the man held his back, for of the faces round the fire he noticed one was black. The next man, looking across the way, saw one not of his church, and couldn't bring himself to give the fire his stick of birch.
The third one sat in tattered clothes. He gave his coat a hitch. Why should his log be put to use to warm the idle rich? The rich man sat back and thought of the wealth he had in store and how to keep what he had earned from the lazy, shiftless poor. The black man's face bespoke revenge as the fire passed from his sight, for all he saw in his stick of wood was a chance to spite the white.
The last man of this forlorn group did not accept for gain, giving only to those who gave, was how he played the game. Their logs held tight in death's still hands was proof of human sin. They didn't die from the cold without. They died from the cold within.

It's important to preserve mother languages because it's more than just words. It carries culture, history, values, and traditions.

This past Tuesday was April Fool's Day, and unlike most of the other non-Foolish holidays, The history of April Fool's Day, sometimes called All Fool's Day, is not totally clear. There really wasn't a first April Fool's Day that can be pinpointed on the calendar. Some believe it sort of evolved simultaneously in several cultures at the same time, from celebrations involving the first day of spring.
The closest point in time that can be identified as the beginning of this tradition was in 1582 in France. Prior to that year, the new year was celebrated for eight days, beginning on March 25th. The celebration culminated on April 1st. With the reform of the calendar under Charles IX, the Gregorian calendar was introduced, and New Year's Day was moved to January 1st. However, communications being what they were in the days when news traveled by foot,
Many people did not receive the news for several years. Others, the more obstinate crowd, refused to accept the new calendar and continued to celebrate the new year on April 1st. These backward folk were labeled as fools by the general populace. They were subject to some ridicule and were often sent on fool's errands or were made the butt of other practical jokes. This harassment evolved over time into a tradition of prank playing on the first day of April.
The tradition eventually spread to England and Scotland in the 18th century. It was later introduced to the American colonies of both the English and French. April Fool's Day thus developed into an international fun fest, so to speak, with different nationalities specializing in their own brand of humor at the expense of their friends and family. April Fool's Day is a for fun only observance.
Nobody's expected to buy gifts or to take their significant other out to eat in a fancy restaurant. Nobody gets off work or school. It's simply a fun little holiday, but a holiday on which one must remain forever vigilant. he may be the next April Fool. So here's a fun tune for us to enjoy in celebration of the occasion by the Funny Fellows. Open the door, we are all.
