Do you know what it means to miss New Orleans. When that's where you left your heart. The moonlight on the bayou a creole tune that fills the air. I dream about magnolias in bloom and I'm wishin' I was there.
Louis Armstrong

More quotes by Louis Armstrong
Unless you know what it is I ain't never going to be able to explain it to you.
Louis Armstrong
A lot of the musicians asked me if when I hit my high-Cs on the records I had a clarinet take the notes. Some [thought] I had invented some kind of gadget so I could play high register. They weren't satisfied until they handed me a trumpet that they had with them and had me swing it. Then they cheered.
Louis Armstrong
As a youngster in the little orphanage home in New Orleans, I was the bugler of the institution. When I got to be around 13 or 14 years old, they took me off the bugle and put me in the little brass band.

I don't need words. It's all in the phrasing.
Louis Armstrong
To jazz, or not to jazz, there is no question!
Louis Armstrong
As many bands as you heard [in New Orleans], that's how many bands you heard playing right. I thought I was in Heaven playing second trumpet in the Tuxedo Brass Band -- and they had some funeral marches that would just touch your heart, they were so beautiful.
Louis Armstrong
When I go to the Gate, I'll play a duet with Gabriel. Yeah, we'll play 'Sleepy Time Down South' and 'Hello, Dolly!.' Then he can blow a couple that he's been playing up there all the time.
Louis Armstrong
You will never know what the meaning of Jazz is if ask what it means.
Louis Armstrong
You blows who you is.
Louis Armstrong
I got a simple rule about everybody. If you don't treat me right - shame on you.
Louis Armstrong
It ain't whatcha say, it's the way howcha say it.
Louis Armstrong
