Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
The Society for the Preservation and Encouragement of Barbershop Quartet Singing in America (SPEBQSA) began in the 1930s to (1) nurture a unique American musical tradition; and (2) get headlines in an era that celebrated endless acronyms. Join Kojo for a pre-Valentines’ serenade and learn about a local singing troupe keeping the tradition alive.
