Ed Harvey, a member of the Broadcast Pioneers of Philadelphia, was a legend at WCAU when it was Philadelphia's talk radio leader. In this picture, we see Ed of the left with Jazz Legend Louis Armstrong. It was taken on the day before Thanksgiving 1959 at Philadelphia's Convention Center at 34th and Spruce Streets in West Philadelphia.

Looks like both guys brought their horns for a little one on one contest. No word on who won. After seeing Ed's coat, you now know why he was on the radio.
