How hard did you have to beg to get Marsalis? I've loved Armstrong since I was an itty bitty thing. When I was an adult, I exulted at his nuanced positions on race. And Marsalis is just the cutest genius on the planet, anyway. ok, Einstein's funny, but Marsalis is cute! I'm glad you covered the diff. between the traditionally-inspired, indigenous music and the "tourist" music! Thanks! Keepin' Mr. Armstrong on the air and in the ear is a good, good thing!
