About me

I grew up in the 60s and 70s in a small rural town, went through K-12 with the same kids.

I have three kids, 15 grandkids and 11 great grandkids!

We knew what respect was & how to show it, the difference between right & wrong and if we didn't then we learned what an azz whippin was.

We said yes ma'am, yes sir, never used first names and we always said please and thank you.

We showed respect for our teachers, didn't bully anyone, we didn't shame anyone for their weight, clothes or where they lived.

Since the first time hearing this, it has been a favorite of mine and will always be at the high end of my list of all time best songs across every music genre there is!

Louis Armstrong was born August 4, 1901 in New Orleans and died in his sleep July 6, 1971 in Corona, New York.

One of the most influential artists in jazz history!

Frank Sinatra admitted to Louis Armstrong having an effect on his "phrasing of music" when he sang...

His life was inspirational!
