[Dixielandjazz] Louis Armstrong

[Marty Nichols]

I believe Louis Armstrong was so successful for several reasons:
   
  He was astute enough to know that most of his audience were not familiar with a lot of different jazz numbers, so when he was on the road he repeatedly played from a list that we fans became familiar with , could recognize and enjoy.
   
  Second, I think Louis enjoyed the same things most of us enjoy- good music.
   
  Last- he was a genius, one of a kind , a great among the great!
