king ubu Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Happy Birthday, Louis! Thanks for all the music! Got to listen to other things in the next days, but have been playing some of his earliest music a few weeks ago - loads of fun! And very soon, tons of greatness, too!

JSngry Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Why don't we make Louis Armstrong an honorary member of this board? Then we can PM him all day long and get some hellacious good stories back as a result! Everybody in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JSngry Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I watched High society again over the weekend...in so many ways, nothing to do with Louis Armstrong, in so many ways, definitive Louis Armstrong...I'm to the point now to where I don't care how dreadful/contrived/corney/show-biz/whatever-negative the environs are (and High Society is actually pretty fine, really, Bing Crosby hippest white guy ever? not cool, but hip), whenever Louis Armstrong is there, I'm happy to see him, and less happy when he leaves.The man was, and in death remains, a life-force for the ages. I'd be all for making his birthday a secular/religious holiday like Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even though it's corny, I've always enjoyed that Satch sequence. 'Course, I love the "Did You Evah" duet with Sinatra too. Satch is immortal. gregmo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
