   Steve, you have to be kidding with this, " he and the All Stars read 
"Hello dolly" quite easily in 1963"
   Anybody could read that...it's the way they played it in a swinging 
dixieland jazz style that is so outstanding.  BTW, Louis doesn't really solo 
on it , he leads a magnificent ensemble  with some outstanding trombone by 
Trummy Young.  There is nothing 'awful' about that tune though it has been 
played 'awfully'
 by many corny-ass bands. NOT by Louis, though...he could turn any tune into 
pure gold.
