Louis Armstrong - biography

“What we play is life.”

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

“All music if folk music.  I ain’t never heard no horse sing a song.”

“Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them.”

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

“If you have to ask what jazz is, you’ll never know.”

“There are some people that if they don’t know, you can’t tell them.”

“We all do ‘do, re, mi,’ but you have got to find the other notes yourself.”

“You blows who you is.”
