"Thanks a lot Bird, and that's the way it is here at the Royal Roost -- ah, where the lights are low and the music's a really crazy groove. Always good sounds as pure modern progressive jazz here at the Royal Roost -- if you dig it, we invite you to come down here. If you haven't come down here, you haven't lived. And right now, another one of the favorites that everybody asks for all the time with the great Bird, it's 'Scrapple from the Apple'..."

DL: Your announcer is David Ras-Lambert-Sputin, and now I will turn you over to Budward.

Voiceover from 0:14: "How 'bout that, everything original at the Royal Roost. The bop group, Charlie Parker and the All-Stars, the wonderful Buddy Stewart and Davy Lambert, who've done bop vocals for many many years along with the Gene Krupa organization. And it's always original here at the Royal Roost, the Metropolitan Bopera House, the original house that bop built, on Broadway between 47th and 48th Street..." (cut off)
