More quotes by 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

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

Louis Armstrong
I see trees of green, red roses too. I see them bloom for me and you. And I think to myself what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue and clouds of white. The bright blessed day, the dark sacred night. And I think to myself what a wonderful world
Louis Armstrong
You will never know what the meaning of Jazz is if ask what it means.

Louis Armstrong
When you're dead, you're done.
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
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
Louis Armstrong
Never play anything the same way twice.
Louis Armstrong
