More quotes by Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong
You see, pops, that's the kind of talk that's ruining the music. Everyone's trying to do something new, no one trying to learn the fundamentals first. All them young cats playing their wierd chords. And what happens? No one's working.
Louis Armstrong
All them weird chords which don't mean a thing...you got no melody to remember, and no beat to dance to
