    I had a Great Uncle that passed in 2019 at the age of 96. He was born in Luray S.C. and when he would get a leave of absence while in the Navy, all the Black Servicemen would have to get off the train just before it arrived in Charleston and walk home. He moved to Philly in 1953. I spent a lot of time with and around him as I grew up. He loved and played a lot of Louis Armstrong's music, but this was his favorite. He often spoke of his life in the South during segregation, but he would always laugh at the mistreatment. He was a sharp dressed gentlemen and had a full life smile. When I was 46 he said, "Robbie, make sure they play When It's Seepy Time Down South at my new beginning". I had this piece played at his Homegoing; he would have laughed. O'Yea.

    My dad passed away in January. He loved Trad Jazz, Louis Armstrong was his favourite. We played 'We have all time time in the World' at his funeral. I miss him so much . I grew up listening to Louis, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday and love this Genre also.

    Now the pale moon's shining, on the fields below
    Dark folks crooning songs soft and low
    You needn't tell me, boy, because I know
    When It's sleepy time down south
    The soft winds blowing through the pinewood trees
    Folks down there live a life of ease
    When old mammy falls on her knees
    When It's sleepy time down south.
    Oh, steamboats up the river coming, going
    Splashing the night away
    hear those banjos ringing, dark folks are singing
    And they dance 'til the break of day
    Dear old southland with his dreamy song
    Take me back where I belong
    Right in my mammy's arms
    When it's sleepy time down south

    Mr. Louis Armstrong one of the greatest human beings on the planet. But we are that smiling face it was thinking I would say about his people he was thinking about a kid from New Orleans becoming successful was reform school and the rise and rise above it became we is one of the most respected musicians of all time pops I've been playing music and some seven years old don't believe that you cannot be successful you could be anything you want want it enough I don't care what you people that find excuses for not being achieved this on call losers so every time I see Louis Armstrong to me I respect him with my own father and I missing him very much

      Interestingly enough, because my late great-grandfather’s favorite song was “What A Wonderful World,” every time it would come on as a kid I’d expect someone to start crying because the grief was fresh. So that’s what I associate with his voice, but it’s all in a gorgeous sort of way. He embodies a special time and place for many people.

    Very different than Louis Prima’s cover of it. Two Louis’s from New Orleans, born the same decade, both phenomenal trumpeters beyond words I can express. Yet two very different takes. The original Louis Armstrong is somber and sounds home sick even. Louis Prima on the other hand as irrepressible as ever plays a celebration to his home with his medley of BassinstreetBlues/SleepyTimeDownSouth.

    Who controls the internet? Damn them. I couldn't think of the title of his theme song, which this is, so I googled Louis's theme song. It gave several songs, but not this one. He was not ashamed of the lyrics, but the PC creeps are, and they revise history, present and future. Execrable. How I despise presentists.
