1555.586 - 1573.151 Ricky Riccardi

Well, the amazing thing for me is Cornette Chop Suey was the next song recorded after heebie-jeebies. So I always like to make the point that You know, you can name a million great vocalists and a million great instrumentalists and Armstrong's the only person who totally changed the way people sang and he totally changed the way people soloed and played music on their instruments.
