Louie Armstrong / Aug 4, 1901 - July 6, 1971

August 4, 2017

Happy birthday to the great Satchmo, Louis Armstrong , the amazing New Orleans jazz trumpeter who’s 1920’s bands stand among the most important groups in the history of American music.

I know he always said he was born on the 4th of July, but we are giving him the birthday nod on his true date of birth, today. So smoke a reefer and listen to the sound bend around.
