I was in the opening act for Louis Armstrong on the AS Admiral, a showboat in St. Louis, Missouri.
It was celebrating July 4th and my Dance Troop did a tap routine in our red, white and blue outfits.
We brought the "house down" as so did Mr. Armstrong. He was one of the nicest guys I've ever had the honor to meet. What a great day!

Celadon
A 62 yr. old topping the Beatles; I love it. Especially since they claimed to be more popular then Jesus.
Shellback
Player Elf Counsel, I agree with you Elf, and I believe that he is best remembered for Wonderful World.

I loved him in The Five Pennies with Danny Kaye. Their rendition of When the Saints Go Marching in is worth watching.
Bonnie
Player Elf Counsel, One of my favorite songs. He sure was talented. R.I.P.
