Thanks for coming, and welcome to the White House. Laura and I really appreciate you coming to join us today to celebrate Black Music Month, and we're glad you're here.
Our Jazz Masters and students from the Jazz in the New Generation program will perform for us soon, and we thank them for being here as well. I think you're going to like it. [Laughter] It's actually one of the great advantages of being the President is you get some great musicians to play for you in your living room. [Laughter]
We want to thank Dana Gioia for coming here. He's the chairman of the National Endowment of Arts. He's doing a fine job. I appreciate you ...
