Satchmo
 

I'm sitting here listening to a Satchmo record ("Satchmo Plays King Oliver) that FlippyShark gave me for my birthday, and realized that there hasn't been a Louis Armstrong tread. Of course no one is more swanky that Satchmo. He's my all time favorite musician.

So is there anyone else out there who is a Louis Armstrong fan?

I dig Satch, but I can't say that I have any of his stuff....Now I'm on a mission to rip a CD from the library. :D

Stachmo was my dad's favorite. He loved Dixieland and I think that was one of the main reasons he had for going to the park. Anyway, I grew up with him and he still always reminds me of my childhood, and going to Disneyland. I particularly enjoy his collaborations with Ella Fitzgerald.

I was born in the wrong era. I feel a kinship to Satchmo and many of the other Jazz musicians of that era.

My Dad was a Jazz musician and loved Satchmo. I remember seeing him play at Disneyland when I was about 5 or 6. It's a very distinct memory and one of the few that have stuck with me for these many years.

Of course, I love seeing him on film in the musical version of "The Philadelphia Story" - High Society.

Here's and item combines the best of Satchmo and Disney. "Disney Songs the Satchmo Way"

Louis is unmatched. Gotta love him.

My list of favorites is long: Louis, The Bird, Ella, Billie, Miles, the Duke, etc., etc. Just heard a bit on NPR about a drummer, Roy Haynes. He's played with the greats and is still playing at 80. And from what they played on air...I gotta get some of his work, wow!

Husband! Do you have a Satch CD? I know you have Miles and the Bird...I should stick those on my iPod.

I think Satchmo was a great addition to the Matterhorn. Oh, wait, that's...nevermind.

Nope, no Armstrong in my collection.

Hmmm.... Must hook up Satchmo-less friends with good music....
