Re: [Goanet] Remembering Goa's Melody King - Alfred Rose
Thank you Frederick. I too was hoping that the print media in Goa would remember the Melody King of Goa on his 7th death anniversary. Anyways its still not too late and may something can still be printed. If you need help with content please do let me know and I will assist you. The website is getting more hits this year than last year and as I had mentioned in my interview that I have a quite some content to post and I will be uploading content in parts.

It was all over the radio in Goa (Rainbow FM, which is rather popular at mid-day) this afternoon. I would like to believe that your message below was crucial in building awareness about one of our achievers whom we have forgotten. Just before 1.30 pm, the English programme announcer was complaining that she had received too many requests for songs to play. Someone, she said, had rang to point out that it was Alfred's death anniversary, and could she play an English song of his. She couldn't oblige due to lack of time, but pointed this out. Later, when I came back home just before 2 pm, the Konkani programme was still playing one of Alfred's songs. Good going!

Although he is not with us today, his golden voice still remains on records, cassettes and CD's for generations to come. Alfred Rose was known as The Man with the Golden Voice (courtesy His Master's Voice Recording Company). As a child when I watched the Tiatr's in Bombay, I can still remember the whistling clapping when people saw him entering the stage. His voice echoed in my ears even after I returned home. Alfred Rose sang thousands of songs and unfortunately nobody has got an exact count. His songs are loved by thousands of fans who are not only in India but also worldwide. His songs always had a special message, be it a slow melody or a fast number. There have been many events organized in his memory such as musical shows talent contests. Tiatr Academy of Goa has sponsored a couple of Alfred Rose musical shows recently. Last year on the occasion of his 6th death anniversary, I had made the www.alfredrose.com website public. There have been more than 2000 hits so far and I have received a lot of emails from fans worldwide thanking me for the website. Unfortunately, the website did not get updated for almost 10 months due to time and certain technical limitations. However, this year on the 21st of October 2010, his fans will see a new face of the website. Photos that have never been seen before. From here on the website will be updated regularly. There will be videos and audio added soon too. Thereafter, a Facebook group was created by one of his fans Augusto Lucas Morais and also administered by our very own Edward Verdes. There are 384 members as of today including Engelbert Rose and Alria Rose. I have been singing only Alfred Rose songs at events for which I have performed so far and many of those who hear me say that I sing / sound like him. I really appreciate the compliments but I only have to say that Alfred Rose will always remain the one and only Melody King of Goa. Please join me in remembering Alfred Rose on his 7th death anniversary please do not forget to visit www.alfredrose.com on 21st October 2010 and experience the new face given to the website.

Re: [Goanet] Remembering Goa's Melody King - Alfred Rose
Fred, Alfred Rose is not forgotten, he is very much alive thru his songs. This year AIR remembered to air his songs on this day, ofcourse thru some reminders sent earlier on the Facebook group. But sadly none of the print media remembered to post an article on this great singer, in this I will admit it was a mistake from my side for not contacting you or ccing u the small article I had sent to Herald...
