THE THIRD DAY OF CHRISTMAS
“Happiness isn’t something you experience; it’s something you remember.”

Happy birthday, kindred spirit!
P.S. Marvin Rosen’s “Viva 21st Century” marathon is underway (it began at 2 p.m. ET) on WPRB Princeton, at 103.3 FM or http://www.wprb.com. Enjoy Marvin for 25 hours, as he is buoyed up by energy snacks, tea and his boundless enthusiasm for contemporary music. It’s all very un-Oscar Levant.
Levant plays Gershwin:
