Remember this is the morning that we take out WMCA microphones right down to the clubs during our jazz hour and bring you the great sounds of the great Charlie Parker, the All-Stars with Al Haig at the piano, Max Roach on drums, Tommy Potter on bass, and Kenny Dorham on trumpet. Hope you've had a lot of fun, and right now we'd like to bring you the character gentleman of the, ah, Royal Roost, the gentleman that the Royal Roost is very happy to present to you after finding him..." Sid's clearly talking about Harry Belafonte

Note:

h, i -- Some collections of the Parker Roost broadcasts (e.g. Savoy SJL 2260, Nippon Columbia COCY-75791/8 and COCB-50405/8)
include an announcement by Bob Garrity into a commercial break by Sid for Snow White face powder, and another intro by Garrity into
an announcement by Sid in which he mentions the upcoming debut of the "Sunday afternoon Symphony Sid bop concerts." These items
cannot belong here. They are most likely from September 1948 Roost broadcasts of the Miles Davis Nonet.
