"SPELL 'PHILADELPHIA'" CIVIC/EDUCATIONAL INITIATIVE LAUNCHED
A =93Spell =91Philadelphia=92=94 civic/educational initiative was launched
by music label RyKy Records (tm) on January 1, 2005, New Year's Day.
The goal of =93Spell =91Philadelphia=92=94 is to help educate students and
others how to spell =93Philadelphia=94, according to Neal R. Voron,
co-founder of RyKy Records, the music label of Voron Communications.
A web site about the initiative is at: http://www.SpellPhiladelphia.com .
=93Spell =91Philadelphia=92=94 was inspired by Joseph F.M. Pokorny=92s new
=93Philadelphia=94 song, recently released on the =93Songwriter Man=94 CD=
Album.
The song is from Pokorny's =93Philadelphia, The Rock And Roll Musical=94,
which RyKy plans to eventually release on CD and have performed.
=93Our =91Spell Philadelphia=92 initiative, we think,=94 Voron said, =93is=
an innovative
way to take a portion of the song =91Philadelphia=92 that spells out=
=91Philadelphia=92
and use it to help students and others learn how to spell the city=92s name.
The several spellings in the soundclip are followed by either =91We love=
ya!=92
or =91We love you!=92, which injects a positive association with=
=91Philadelphia=92.
If this music-helped learning ever catches on like the little songy jingle
many people use to remember how to spell =91Mississippi=92, then it could=
help
build Philadelphians=92 =AD and non-Philadelphians=92 =AD confidence in=
spelling
the name of our city. We certainly hope so because we think the more
comfortable people are with the city =AD even with seemingly little things
like spelling its name =AD the more positive they will feel about it!=94
