It's the Brian Larrow Show on WNYC.

Good morning, everyone.

Coming up later this hour, we will talk to our own Michael Hill, who got up early this morning for his morning edition

shift, even though he was out last night, co-moderating the New Jersey Republican

gubernatorial hopefulist debate. Michael Plus David Cruz from NJ Spotlight News. They'll both

be here with excerpts from the debate and their analysis and to take your New Jersey voter calls.

That's coming up.

Later in the show, we'll continue our 100 years of 100 things, Centennial Series, and we'll have some fun today with 100 years of Celia Cruz. So stay tuned for those things, but here's where we
