Does the title "What a Wonderful World" hit a Bell?
Some have shuddered over that tune here on the list, but for Louis, in
his late life, it kept him widely popular with a wider public than might
have been the case.And bands today suck it up because when the paying
public requests it, the smart players play it, take their checks home to
the bank, and bitch in private.

I don't understand why musicians should "shutter" or "bitch" when they are
asked to play "What a Wonderful World."
IMO, it is a good tune with beautiful lyrics.
Oops, have I started something again???
