[Dixielandjazz] What A Wonderful World

[OArkas at aol.com]

Great story on "What a Wonderful World."   
When it came out, I remember not being too impressed.   
But then my fiancee (soon to be my wife) and I were asked to be ushers for 
the 1st Annual Monterey Dixieland Festival (I guess they were trying to take 
advantage of the jazz festivals and then the greatly successful rock festival.   
Unfortunately, it rained the whole weekend; I guess it was a financial 
disaster!   BUT, for me the highlight (and I will never forget it!) was Louis 
singing that song!
I can't explain it, but in spite of the rain, the lack of people and all the 
negatives,   he delivered such a beautiful, heart moving song....
You brought back some memories.
Thanks,
John
