SS: "...Was it a real big thing in Paris, Dad?" CP: "Well, to me it was the biggest deal." SS: "It was, huh?" CP: "Yeah. I had much fun." SS: "Heard you on HDH, last night, and you were talking about going to Paris to study." CP: "Yeah, I'm very sincere about that." SS: "Well, that should be real wonderful, you're gonna study composition and writing..." CP: "Yeah." SS: "But then I'd be saying the same thing to Thomas Hollingwood, so I'd better not. (Parker laughs.) Bird, it's been a ball. And don't forget, if you haven't heard Charlie Parker and the All-Stars, my advice to you is to make it here right up until 1:00 this morning and dig the great gentleman of modern music, Yutfagel -- Aelish Yutfagel Parker... (Parker laughs.) That's a little story that we... Jumper just told me a story that if he had a million dollars, but we won't tell it on the air... Go, Bird." CP: "All right, Sid, I think we'll get back to a little music here by presenting for those peoples' listening entertainment a little tune called 'Ornithology'..."

SS: "Great big hand for Charlie Parker... Charlie Parker, Herbie Williams on trumpet, Rollins Griffith on piano, Jimmy Woode on bass, and Marquis Foster on drums. A wonderful group of musicians, most of 'em from Boston. Charlie Parker, I don't know, I think he's from Kansas, Kansas City... Is that your home originally, Bird?" CP: "Yes." SS: "You originally were born in Kansas?" CP: "That's correct." SS: "Not that it's ... just to make conversation, that's all. So, what happens from here? Oh, that's right, you're going on this great big tour, with Stan Kenton and all the fellas, aren't you?" CP: "Yeah, I meet Kenton next week, in Texas..." SS: "And I understand that you'll be in Worcester around February the 9th." CP: "Yes..." SS: "I think that's the date. It'll be Stan Kenton and his modern progressive sounds in jazz, will feature Charlie Parker, Lee Konitz, Erroll Garner and the trio, and that could be for a wonderful, wonderful tour. Lotta luck to you, Dad." CP: "Thank you, Sid." SS: "Well, let's see, we got about seven minutes left. What can we blow in seven minutes?" CP: "Well, 'You Came to Me from Out of Nowhere' might fit." SS: "Yeah? All right, let's do that. A little ballad, 'Out of Nowhere'..."

During his solo Williams quotes "I'm Gonna Wash That Man Right Out of My Hair" (1:57-2:02). Voiceover (2:07-2:28): "Ah, I hate to be a drag and cut in on this wonderful solo, but time is sort of... cuttin' out, so I hope you've had a lot of fun, and don't forget, Charlie Parker and the All-Stars will be here right up until one o'clock. How about a great big hand for Charlie Parker and the wonderful group... And so, until tonight on WCOP, here's your boy Symphony Sid saying 'I Dig You the Most'..." Faded out
