    He was a great entertainer as an old man. Must have been hell on wheels in his prime like this.

    Great photo of a great musician. At first I thought he was jumping up in the air, but he is sitting on the fence. See photo in the article below. Read All About It ! - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/229218579 " ..."Satchmo" (short for for Satchelmouth) wore a dark blue sports suit, bright green flowered shirt, and carried a portable radio. ..." A different article says he played "St Louis Blues" - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/23444170 Priceless - Armstrong and Sibelius and cigars - trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/18448853

    Highranger But ... According to that first newspaper report, Louis & Co. " ... had a free-half-hour sightseeing trip over Sydney before their plane touched down. It was half an hour ahead of schedule, and had to circle until 1.30 pm. ... " So Louis' wristwatch might still be on San Francisco or Hawaii time, and it was about 2 pm ?!
