March 1, 2023 - World Music Therapy Day | National Dadgum That's Good Day

Welcome to March 1st, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate transformational music and food that’s dadgum good. Music is a universal language. Some would say it’s a tool for transformation. Bill Protzmann of San Diego, California has an impressive musical background. In high school he mastered the piano by performing ragtime, classical and big band styles. Bill found that music has a way of stirring the soul, whether it’s the sound of “charge” at a baseball game or the soothing sound of your own voice at a sing along. These days he takes that effect to heart with his own organization, musimorphic. Since 2010, Bill has volunteered with at risk individuals experiencing post traumatic stress, homelessness and even substance abuse. Check out musimorphic.com to see how some people celebrate World Music Therapy Day every day. And if you happen to be in Balboa Park, join Bill and his artist wife Rebecca for a sing along. Anna: Walk like an Egyptian... Marlo: What are you doing there Anna? Anna: I’m cooking like an Egyptian. Have you ever had Egyptian food, Marlo? Marlo: Can’t say that I have! Anna: Well today is National Dadgum That’s Good Day and I’m whipping up a tasty meal of Kafta which is a beef kabob with garlic and parsley and onion; Kashari has spices with rice, lentils and pasta with a spicy tomato sauce and dukkah; a mixture of pistachios, hazelnuts, cumin, coriander ... here, have a taste! Marlo: Oh, that is Dadgum Good! You know what else is Dadgum Good? Peanut butter! Anna: I’m not eating that. Marlo: You don’t like PB&J?! Anna: Nope, you can celebrate National Peanut Butter Lover's Day all by yourself. I’m Anna Devere and I’m Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day.
