[78-L] Louis Armstrong

[Robert Shirer]

I got it for Christmas, and it was the first of the Christmas books I read. 
Highly recommended.  It is amazing how hard even the greatest of jazz 
musicians worked, the number of nights on the road,  ususally with 
inadequate, segregated accommodations.  It is a wonderful book.
