No, I never did see Louis Armstrong live in concert. Not with the Hot Five or Hot Seven, or the Big Band or any of the other St. Louis cool cats he forged his legendary career with. But at least I can imagine him center stage, growling a storm, funning with Thelma and blowing the “good old good olds so high and sweet”. Ladies and gentlemen, the one, the legendary, Satchmo.
