00:00Thank you. Let's hear it for Album Notes.

00:12Rich Martin, Megan Hennessey,

00:14for making the music of King Oliver sound better than ever before.

00:18Wow, Grammy man is going to be insufferable.

00:23I want to dedicate this to the Louis Armstrong House Museum,

00:27and all institutions that are dedicated to black history all year round.

00:32This is for them.

00:35My family, my family watching back in New Jersey,

00:39I'm sure they're screaming,

00:41yeah, Jersey, let's hear for Jersey.

00:44I love cheap applause, I'm sorry.

00:47But my parents, 30 years ago this year,

00:50my parents brought me to the Ocean County Library to check out a Louis Armstrong cassette.

00:54Changed my life, nothing's ever been the same.

00:56So, I want to thank them,

00:58my daughters, Ella, Melody, and Lily.

01:00I just want them to know,

01:02this is great, but it's second place compared to

01:05that World's Greatest Farter mug that they got me for Father's Day.

01:09My wife, Margaret, this is the 21st anniversary of our first date.

01:15I never told her I would win a Grammy,
