if you have to ask

QUOTATIONS from Louis Armstrong:


-- If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.


-- The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician.


-- There are some people that if they don't know, you can't tell them.
(Was he referring to Congress, there?)

-- There is two kinds of music, the good, and the bad. I play the good kind.


-- All music is folk music. I ain't never heard a horse sing a song.
(He probably said that in the 60s when people argued about music that didn't "qualify" as "folk"..."I ain't never heard a horse sing a song." That would tend to end any controversy.)

I think if Louis Armstrong could come back to life, he should be put in charge of Everything.
