End of Song, Beginning of Story...



The magical thing about Louis Armstrong is his ability to transmute that big, gracious, honest smile into soundwaves that convey the same message. Turn on "A Kiss to Build a Dream On" and close your eyes. You can hear him smile as he sings and plays.
And when you're done with "Kiss," there's always time for a little "High Society." Kelly's grace and Satchmo's brass, with Sinatra's swoon and Crosby's croon... there's nothing like it in the world...
