   Pat, I have to say that I find this hard to believe...Armstrong and his 
band perfoming with straight ties and different suits.  I defy you or anyone 
to produce a picture of this.  He and the band always wore their 
uniform-suits with black bow ties.
If what you say is true then there had to be some extenuating circumstances.  
Anyway, can anyone produce a picture of Armstrong's band with different dress 
and straight ties?
