[Dixielandjazz] Where to find L. Armstrong's reading of "Night before Christmas?"

[Norman Vickers]

Rae Ann asks where she can find Louis' reading of "Night before Christmas"

 

As I recall, I had it on a Stash LP.  It was a compilation of various
artists doing Christmas stuff--- of varying quality.

As had been mentioned, it was recorded when he was ill and unable to play
his horn.  In the reading, Louis still swings.

 

As has been mentioned by Ringwald and Butch Thompson that they used it on
radio shows.  We at the Jazz Society of Pensacola had a brief fling for an
early Saturday morning show and used Louis' reading seasonally.  Got lots of
good feedback on it, too.
