In an attempt to bring a little bit of New Orleans spirit back to Atlanta and to my blog, I'm in a Louis Armstrong mood today. There is something about the sound of his trumpet that makes me smile and want to start the day fresh and happy. Because hey, it don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing, right?
Here is another one of my favorites, Black and Blue, a jazzy and awesome commentary on racism in the U.S.
Armstrong went beyond playing music, he played pure emotion. I believe Satchmo will always be popular because emotion never gets old.
