Good morning. Matos here again. Say, did you know that this past Sunday was Louis Jordan’s birthday? He’d have been 99 years old had he not passed away in 1975. Wait, you don’t know Louis Jordan?

Also, I don’t think any musician in history (with the possible exception of Hasil Adkins) has as many songs about food.
