[Dixielandjazz] Louis Armstrong

[Robert S. Ringwald]

Bill Haesler     quotes from the latest press release from the Louis
Armstrong archives and house:

(snip)
> we celebrate Louis Armstrong's birthday on Saturday, August 4, from 2
> to 6 pm.
> The party, at the Louis Armstrong House Museum at 34-56 107th
> Street, will feature free refreshments, the York College Blue Notes
> jazz ensemble, and Ballet Folklorico Father Billini.
(snip)

Bill comments:

(snip)
am I alone in wondering
> that the York College Blue Notes Jazz Ensemble and the Ballet
> Folklorico Father Billini seem to be very strange musical choices to
> celebrate the birthday of the Great Man given the wealth of jazz talent
> available nearby?
(snip)

Before I changed my e-mail address a couple of years ago because of SPAM, I 
was also getting the Louis Armstrong archives PR.  I noticed back then that 
often the entertainment celebrating an event at the archives or house did 
not seem to match, as Bill says, "The great man."
