[Dixielandjazz] The Anonymous Satchmo

[Len Nielsen]

Hi Pam

I take it that you are a "young" woman. The wonder is, probably, that

You have certainly found a unique way to get your message across. Maybe 
you could teach Satchmo to sing Hello Dolly while you play the trumpet. :)

Hellooooooooooo.........
