My Life in New Orleans

by Louis Armstrong

Some good info on how Louie got started in on the trumpet-- basically he was in reform school at the time b/c of firing a gun off during a New Years celebration. I had to give up once I found out I wasn't visiting New Orleans after all. Maybe if I plan a trip back there, I'll pick this back up.

Sorry, comments are no longer open.
