I have a map of state quarters. I also have a thing for territory quarters and the quarter for Washington, D. C. had Duke Ellington on it. On April Fool's Day in 2009, I fooled my grandmother by saying my mom lost the Duke Ellington quarter that was meant for me and she believed me. I really fooled her. I hear him on the Music Choice channel Singers And Swing.
