[music] He said he would kill at midnight on March 19th, but would spare any home playing [music] jazz. The entire city obeyed. Every hall opened. Every family played. A composer [music] wrote a jazz song at 2:00 a.m. Nobody was killed that night, but here is what nobody tells you. Historians now believe the killer never wrote that letter.
