After I read the background and watched the video, I became addicted to Louis Armstrong's performance; even bringing tears to my eyes.
Y'know way back in the 1960's, a good friend of mine, Roy (he passed away 2 years ago) was a big "Satchmo" fan, yet somehow, someway,
I managed to turn Roy onto The Kingston Trio.
At the time I wasn't into Jazz or instrumental music, but in 1964, when Louis Armstrong's "Hello Dolly" got plenty of airplay on our radio,
it became like earworms to me. I ran out to buy the 45rpm single.
Naturally, I phoned Roy and told him the good news. I'll never forget his singing reply:
"Hello Dolly, this is Louis, Dolly, it's so nice to have you back where you belong...."

Thank you to Peter and Ken and Max. Lots of great videos here.
The way the world is right now, it's kind of nice to see a thread called "What A Wonderful World".
Ironic, isn't it? :>)
