This is one of my favorite songs, as done by the master!

Beautiful. Thanks for that. When Satch sings about New Orleans being "the land of dreams" I really believe it.

Strangely enough, considering I grew up in the frozen north, my Grandma turned me on to Louis Armstrong. She adored him. So I've loved Satchmo since I was a really little girl!

Have you ever seen that film "New Orleans" where he and Billie Holliday basically run away with the whole damned movie?

If Grandma knew I was lucky enough to be living in the land of dreamy dreams, and how happy it makes me, I think she'd heartily approve.

Your grandma sounds cool. I grew up in Baltimore. My dad loved the ratpack, but my mom loved Satch.

Of course I've seen the "New Orleans" movie - love it. Did you know that "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans" was written specificaly for that movie? It's true. One of the best soundtracks EVER.
