ARMSTRONG EVERYWHERE

Armstrong—Armstrong everywhere! It was beautiful finally to see and hear everyone playing Pops in all his incarnations and ideas. He was the best and most influential musician of the century, and there was a lot of him to go around. Admittedly, we had to hear “What A Wonderful World” a little too often for my taste, but it was compensated by all the times I heard “West End Blues” or “Mahogany Hall Stomp.”
