"I'm excited to introduce styles of music like ragtime, or some old crooner, that are new and fresh to listeners, while sharing stories about life today or yesterday. I may even pick up a ukulele and strum and sing. It’s going to be spontaneous and entertaining, and the audience will learn a little more about the great treasure, the fine legacy that is American Pop Song."
