[Dixielandjazz] Sachmo's great grandson Herb

[Thompson]

Since Jim and I will be attending the lecture series about the life and
times of Louis Armstrong this weekend in New Orleans, I will certainly bring
this subject before the "experts".  During the past lectureships, the
question was raised and pretty well settled that a doctor had reported that
Louis could not produce children.

Quoting Nan Lander:
"That was in 1965, but in an echo of that magic, there's a new voice on the
Coast who brings back the melodic serendipity of the great man's bass voice,
and a lot more besides - Satchmo's great-grandson Herb."

If Nan Lander (come on, is that a real name?) is willing to characterize
Louis Armstrong's "bass voice," then she may also be capable of believing
that this Herb fellow is really his great-grandson.

Yeah, right.
