Tibor s Take of money buying food, pastries and drinks. But, even if you live outside the Youngstown area (like me), you can listen to our program so long as you can access a computer and have an internet connection. Smart phones also work! If you're unsure of how to listen online, ask your children or grandkids to show you how to connect in a flash to the program using a computer or phone. Nowadays, computers are no longer a thousand dollar investment. Tablets with double or even quadruple the processing power of computers from the 2000s can be purchased for as little as $50. A few years back, I wrote about how my family brought tablets during their visit to Hungary and our relatives in Csőt. There, I explained how we were able to video-chat live to loved ones in America. One tip: If you are going to listen to the "Souvenirs of Hungary" on your computer or phone, get yourself a better quality set of headphones/earbuds. The difference in sound quality makes the additional cost worth it. To tune in to our show from anywhere in the world, log onto www.WKTL.caster.fln. Tune in every Saturday from noon to 1:30 p.m. As always, you can call into the show for special requests and dedications at 330-755-8578. (Don't worry about long distance charges: most cell phones now offer inexpensive or inclusive long distance calling plans.) Recently, my cousins in Csőt connected to our program using their computer. They are six hours ahead of Eastern Standard Time (EST), thus were enjoying a Saturday dinner of gulyás and vörös bor (red wine) with our program providing background music. Cousin Arpi's favorite song is "Galambszivet." My brother András recorded the song on his cellphone while playing his Bohak cimbalom. We broadcast the tune on the internet so that Arpi, while sitting at home some 3,600 miles away, could sing along to the contemplative song dedicated to sentimentality, home and departed parents. During the airing of our show, cousin Judit, (Arpi's daughter in Csőt) called the station on her cellphone to tell us we were coming in loud and clear. Many listeners prefer listening to the show via the internet streaming service, stating that the sound quality and clarity is much better compared to FM radio. Give online listening a try. It's simple, easy and free. It is a simple process and offers the joy of Magyar music. So, can you listen to our family's Hungarian radio program on the internet? Yes. ****************************************************************** Speaking of Hungarian music online.... Recently, actress and comedian Kate McKinnon (perhaps best known for her impersonation of Hillary Clinton on Saturday Night Live) rapped-in Hungarian-to a wellknown contemporary Hungarian song on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. McKinnon had been in Hungary shooting a movie, The Spy Who Dumped Me, and tried to learn some of the language. It was a moment to make one proud of being a Magyar. Her pronunciation of Hungarian was exceptional and many natives of Magyarország gave her an "A" for rapping those tongue-twisting words to perfection. Maybe she will learn to sing other Hungarian tunes, like "Az a Szép," for an encore! You can see and listen to McKinnon's performance on You Tube. Éljen a Magyar, Tibor II Show your WPA pride!
