I thought I would listen to a #PhilSchaap archive broadcast on #WKCR while prepping for my first meeting today, but, no!

Today is a latter-day KCR tradition, the "second" all-day #LouisArmstrong Birthday Broadcast of the year, in addition to the long-running July 4th one, now that we know his actual birthdate.

Here's to my favorite #stoner icon!

Interview with Phil Schaap — Max Raskin

“Just remember, for every 6 million fifth graders, there are between two and five who know who Roy Eldridge is. Getting the word out is not an easy task, but good for you. Enjoy jazz. Jazz is great.”
