"Born poor, died rich, and never hurt anyone along the way." Don't remember who said it, but darn well said! I love you, Louis!!!!!

[@3myst]

Duke Ellington said that if I recall correctly.

I got a red persoan cat years AGO and named him Satchmo. He is now with his namesake. O how I luved my beautiful cat and Louis. Btw. I took really good care of my Satchmo. He lived til almost 19

He was the best trumpet player, and blues singer I've heard. May he rest in peace! 😭

[@bobgalida5713]

When I was a kid in the 50’s & 60’s, my parents would listen to his music a lot. My ‘ol man referred to him as “Satchmo”. I still enjoy his music often!

[@tomkelly4336]

Everything that Pops did shows his great humanity. Satch first came into my life 40 yrs. ago I was a kid and had gotten my first jazz albumn for Christmas his voice and that horn will always be with me. RIP Pops

Avalon legendary island In time machine he went back to get the Bible for the chosen land in the furure where they had none. There were more warlocks to defeat. There were fierce warriors willing to defend their Creator. They will protect the people. By The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica • Edit History Avalon, island to which Britain’s legendary king Arthur was conveyed for the healing of his wounds after his final battle. It is first mentioned in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia regum Britanniae (c. 1136), while the same author’s Vita Merlini (c. 1150) described it as “the island of apples [‘Insula pomorum’], called fortunate.” It was ruled by the enchantress Morgan le Fay and her eight sisters, all of them skilled in the healing arts. Geoffrey may have been attempting to connect his “island of apples” with Celtic mythology’s traditions of an elysium; and the name Avalon is certainly close to the Welsh word for apple, afal. Sir John Rhys, however (Studies in the Arthurian Legend, 1891), preferred to link the name Avalon with that of Aballach, a (hypothetical) dark Celtic divinity. Avalon has been identified with Glastonbury in Somerset, and this may be connected with Celtic legends about an “isle of glass” inhabited by deceased heroes. It is equally likely to have been an attempt by the monks of Glastonbury to exploit the Arthurian legend for the benefit of their own community e-o-ih
