Louis ›Satchmo‹ Armstrong (1901–1971)

»Music is life itself. What would this world be without good music? No matter what kind it is.«

»All music is folkmusic. I ain’t never heard no horse sing a song.«

»Musicians don’t retire; they stop when there’s no more music in them.«

»There’s only two ways to sum up music: either it’s good or it’s bad. If it’s good you don’t mess about it; you just enjoy it.«
