Louis Armstrong's New Orleans

In May, book club members can read either the Louis Armstrong book or
Positively 4th Street. The intent is to have people read one OR the other and come to the meeting to share perspectives on the impact that place has on artists and performers. New York in the case of Baez, Dylan and the Farinas and New Orleans in the case of Louis Armstrong. (If anyone wants to read both books, that would be great. I'm going to try......)

I've started Thomas Brothers' book, Louis Armstrong's New Orleans and am getting a real sense of the context in which to place Armstrong's life and music. Of course, he grew up in New Orleans and left, while the folksingers came to New York City from other places - that will be an interesting comparison for discussion.
