The Lonious Monk

Me and my younger sister used to read the encyclopedias we had every weekend when we were little. It was out thing we did together. Mind you, this is the mid-late 70's, so not only is there no internet, there's also no home computers. All you could do was read shit in order to learn.
I used to do the same thing in the 80s. A nigga was like 7 and killin' Jeopardy every day.
