Red beans and ricely yours.

Give me a kiss to build a dream on And my imagination will thrive upon that kiss Sweetheart, I ask no more than this A kiss to build a dream on.
Louis Armstrong
It really puzzles me to see marijuana connected with narcotics dope and all of that stuff. It is a thousand times better than whiskey. It is an assistant and a friend.
Louis Armstrong
There's a thing I've dreamed of all my life, and I'll be damned if it don't look like it's about to come true-to be King of the Zulu's parade. After that, I'll be ready to die.
Louis Armstrong
There's only two ways to sum up music either it's good or it's bad. If it's good you don't mess about it, you just enjoy it.
Louis Armstrong
At first it was just a misdemeanor, but then you lost the mis-de and you just got meaner and meaner.
Louis Armstrong
