Quincy’s NPR Interview

Quincy was featured in NPR’s News & Notes on February 27th, 2009. To listen to the live interview click here. Quincy talks about the importance of cultures and gives us a glimpse of his worldliness through his travels when he toured with the Dizzy Gillespie Big Band (pictured above while on tour at the Acropolis). The U.S. State Department sent them on a goodwill tour around the globe at a time when President Eisenhower wanted to spread the ideals of American democracy as a weapon against communism. As Quincy always says: “You have to go to know.” The interview ties into Quincy’s campaign for a Secretary of Arts, which focuses on the importance of American culture preservation and promotion.

With nearly a quarter million signatures, the Secretary of the Arts Petition is gaining momentum. The total signature count as of today is 238,015 signatures and still attracting press coverage around the world. You can sign the petition here or view the petition here. Please spread the word!

    Dear Mr. “Q”

    Since my last assistance as a Lighting Assistant for the John McCain & Barack Obama Discussion at Columbia University that took place on 9/10/2008. I’ve been in an eager and earnest effort to having Mr. “Q” Jones become the next Secretary of the Arts & Music Department for the Obama Administration through personal e-mails to his administrators. It is with my sincerest hopes, wishes, and shared dreams that this becomes a reality.
