WKCR-FM

This is the Columbia Broadcasting System.

And now we're back live in the studios of WKCR and picking up the baton to continue our 72-hour Bird Prez birthday broadcast here on radio station WKCR-FM New York and WKCR-HD.

My name is Sid Gribetz, and we'll be with you for the next few hours of the show.

This is a marathon broadcast, 72 hours around the clock all day yesterday, today, and tomorrow night until midnight.

So keep it right here at WKCR 89.9 on the dial and spread the word.

Give your friend a call or an email blast.

Let them know there's this great music on this strange radio station lasting for the great end of summer festival that we do every year here at WKCR.

And, of course, it was a bittersweet but wonderful to hear our dear old friend Phil Schapp, and I hope you enjoyed hearing his archival program that we used to make some of the time on this year's broadcast.

Bob White, [whistles] you really broke it up tonight, Bob.

That was Mildred Bailey on the Vocalion label in 1937, singing Johnny Mercer's composition, Bob White, and you heard Johnny Mercer whistling along in the background.

Some have continued to stay with me.

Things like video games or like dancing and even in one way like action figures and stuff like that that stuff has always stayed with me um for my youth um even now into my 50s you can see you know kind of the background here movies as well love going to the movies just something I've enjoyed as I was since I was a kid There was a period of time in my life when I was very much into underground hip hop, like the Stretch Armstrong and Bobbito show, WKCR, WNYU, very much into that underground indie kind of hip hop scene.

The same way I kind of follow DJs now for parties that I really like, I would follow DJs back then.

I was inspired to write my own little kind of raps, make my own little beats with a sequencer that I had and this A-List keyboard.

Bye.

You're listening to WKCR-FM New York and WKCR-HD, the Louis Armstrong Birthday Broadcast Part 2 here on August 4th, as we do every year around the clock.

Just played you a nice long set of some selections of Louis on the Decca label.

Then we heard a song from 1944 called Groovin'.

And so a lot more of Louis Armstrong to go, preempting all of our regular programming.

My name is Sid Gribbets, and thank you, CJ, and everyone else at the staff who's taken us so far.

I'll take the next leg of the show, and all of the WKCR staff will be here until midnight tonight around the clock playing Louis Armstrong.

Let's have some natural listening for you here, and this is, of course, the great session that he did with Duke Ellington in 1961, Lewis and Duke together on the roulette label.

Well, and Charlie Parker's discography.

I spent years listening to WKCR and Phil Schaap doing Bird Flight every morning.

Yeah, yeah.

Those songs are imprinted in the head.
