Louis Armstrong, n.All

Louis Armstrong is an artist who, whatever he does is real, and true, and honest, and simple, and even noble. Every time this man puts his trumpet to his lips, even if only to practice three notes, he does it with his whole soul.

Louis Armstrong spent his adult life celebrating the wrong birthday. He thought it was July 4th, 1900, but it was actually August 4th, 1901.

Louis Armstrong died on his birthday.

Louis Armstrong asked Richard Nixon to carry his bags through customs for him because he ‘was an old man’. The bags had marijuana in them.
