Jazz Royalty Louis Armstrong Made Queens His Home

Beloved, legendary jazz artist Louis (Satchmo) Armstrong was born in the city where jazz was born;  New Orleans. Born at the turn of the 20th C, Armstrong was known for his musicial genius throughout the world.  Satchmo performed for presidents, royalty, world leaders, musicians and millions of fans.  His impact on music will live on forever. The best way to appreciate the man as he lived is to take an intimate tour of the Louis Armstrong House Museum.  This was his home with his wife Lucille for more than 3 decades.  Armstrong spent most of his time travelling throughout the world performing.  But, he never strayed far from his hard working class roots.  He grew up dirt poor in LA and Armstrong chose to maintain a modest working class sensibility, aspiring to be part of a close knit neighborhood. He kept diligent records of correspondences & fascinating conversations which are played throughout the tour of his compact home.  All the original furnishings & items have been maintained.  It makes an interesting time capsule that pays tribute to the musical legend and heroic human being.  Experience the humbleness of this great man, learn of his altruism, especially to those he called friends & neighbors.  WONDERFUL WORLD was written from this home, "I see friends shakin hands, saying {How do you do.}  They're really saying, {I love you.}"  What a wonderful way to experience the life of an exceptional human being.
