Louis Armstrong was a great believer in looking after his health, even 
though the preparations and methods he used were hardly medically approved.

I remember reading once that when talking about his health-care, he said 
that his intention was to live to be 100 years old. Had he really managed 
this plus a few years he would have been 106 in four weeks' time, and 
probably still blowing high C's.

Long may his memory live.
