It's a heckofalot better than HELL-O DOLLY

 recording to teach the subject of Armstrong; many of them never heard of the
 Hot Five.

 I can think of at least one performance that really upsets me. "What a
 Wonderful World" is an embarrassment that stayed buried until "Good Morning,
 Vietnam" dug it out of mothballs. Music teachers have actually used this

Hardly buried..we were playing it on the radio in 1969. I still have the 
riginal 45 on ABC. And what the hell is all this outrage about Louis sullying 
imself by performing something other than jazz? Jee-zus! Did you get in a rage 
ecause Jimmy Durante sang "Young at Heart" without making reference to his pal 
mbriago? I don't know when I've read a bigger load of crap than this thread.
