skeith Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Armstrong fans will enjoy this one. Several great articles. Quote
Dan Gould Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 I already posted the articles so people won't have to register to read them, but I obviously failed to think about where the thread should be placed-I chose Miscelleneous Music: http://www.organissimo.org/forum/index.php...?showtopic=4307 Quote
Rooster_Ties Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Ah yes, but at least this thread properly refers to "Pops"!!! Quote
Brad Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Read it this morning. Very funny, especially about some of the incidents revealed on the tapes (he apparently made tapes of everything). Wonder what Chris thought about it. Didn't he know Mrs. Armstrong very well? Quote
skeith Posted October 9, 2003 Author Report Posted October 9, 2003 One reason to actually buy the Times as opposed to just reading Dan's links are all the great color photographs that accompany the article. Quote
Christiern Posted October 9, 2003 Report Posted October 9, 2003 Wonder what Chris thought about it. Didn't he know Mrs. Armstrong very well?I knew Lil Armstrong (Louis' second wife) very well for the last 10 years of her life. I did not know Lucille nearly as well--they were very different. Louis' maid once told me that in all the years she worked for Louis, one of the best moments came the day Lil rang the doorbell. She had come to NYC for Louis' funeral. The maid told me that she went upstairs and announce to Lucille that "Mrs. Armstrong is downstairs." After the funeral, Lucille told me that she had Lil ride in the family car, because "if I didn't, Louis would have found some way of getting back at me." Lucille was not very well liked--she was a tremendous snob, and Louis was anything but that. He often straightened her out. I was at the house in Corona about 3 years ago--I don't recall seeing a wall-to-wall bed in Louis' bedroom. Lots of mirrors and glitter, however, and a very nice den or office. Quote

BruceH Posted October 10, 2003 Report Posted October 10, 2003 You can look it up in a library. But the Times is so big that I usually don't look through it unless I know something I want is in there. So thanks again, Dan. Quote
