"In March of 1976, Thelonious happened to be listening to a special broadcast by Columbia University’s radio station, WKCR, dedicated to his music. A guest expert began droning on about how Monk created extraordinary music, in spite of 'playing the wrong notes on the piano.' Perturbed, Monk dialed the Columbia switchboard and left a message to 'tell the guy on the air, ‘The piano ain’t got no wrong notes!’'"
