    One of the thrills of my life was seeing him in 1961 at the Paper Mill Playhouse in Millburn, NJ with my father, a huge fan. I was 10 and a novice on the trumpet. We went backstage and hung with him for a while; i sat on his knee as they chatted, and he led me back to the end of the room where his trumpet sat in its case. I tooted a few notes and her roared in approval, a huge smile across his face. I still have the program he signed.

    I was singing this song in a blues pub in Gallway bay in 2008. A German couple visiting that night came to me and said it was that very song playing in a Paris night club 40 years before on that very same night, when he proposed to her and she accepted! As a result I got information from him as to how to find my long lost brother whom I had never met in all my 67 years! Since that night, I have found my brother and his family and we have been visiting each other. It was on the world BBC news. All because....I sang THAT song, on THAT night in THAT pub in Ireland!

    • @toilet_cleaner_man
      @toilet_cleaner_man Год назад +2

      @@d.b.624 I'd say otherwise to your first point about the tone not fitting, the song is an old blues tune; it's written from the perspective of a downtrodden fella with not much to him in this world. He seemingly has had a rough go of it, and now his mistress just got sent to the undertaker; not many in that situation could hold themselves, but a common coping mechanism is to joke, provide black humor to lighten the mood of an otherwise desperate situation. In context, this works even more, since the singer is playing a street goon, he himself doesn't hold his life in high regard. He knows he's probably not long for this world either, and so while he's thinking about his own time, what else does his mind fly to but the looks, the appearance, the glamour he's never had. He wants to be presented in a certain way, a way that masks the deep sorrow inside, so that those around him will think he was a high-roller with not a care in the world. Straight-laced shoes, a box-backed coat, a genuine Stetson, and a twenty-dollar gold piece; these are probably extravagances he himself is not accustomed to, but he wants to be buried with them "so the boys will know I died, standing pat", he wants his friends and riders to see someone else in that casket, a richer man, a wilder man, a less broken man.

Before we went in we sat in the parking lot for probably 30 minutes with him fiddling with the radio trying to get the CD to play a certain song. I told him it was no problem and that I could look it up, but he wanted me to listen to it right then. I felt such a connection to him and that song. Its a happy memory but I still get teary when I hear it. One of my regrets is not requesting it to be played at his funeral. But I think he knows what it means to me.

    There's a book called "I Went Down To St. James Infirmary" by Robert Harwood that's pretty outstanding. The song actually comes from the 1600s, and was originally called "The Unfortunate Rake." As it made its way through the years and throughout the world, it became different songs such as "Streets of Laredo." The bit about "she'll never find a man like me" was the New Orleans version, and if you know anything about New Orleans, that would be the version.

    I love Louis Armstrong and I raised my children on classic jazz along with classical artists such as as Bach, Chopin etc... I feel it is important to listen to this wonderful old music.

    Deep dark and broken
    Nor needed a single word spoken
    But the cries of man
    The wails the sigh
    The down right consternation of finally being free
    Not yet felt or seen by you and me
    Just a final treat
    For the
    Dearly departed

    Satchmo is incredible. His sound is so rich in information. I shake my head at least 3 times a day in utter amazement of his phrasing and ideas, consistency and shear energy he puts in every note he plays and sings. Thank you god for giving us satchmo just at the right time as recording technology blossomed so we can hear his message for years to come.

    I went down to St. James Infirmary
    Saw my baby there
    She was stretched out on a long white table
    So cold, so sweet, so fair
    Let her go, let her go!
    God bless her wherever she may be
    She can look this wide world over
    But she'll never find a sweet man like me
    (*Laughter* braggin')
    When I die bury me in straight lace shoes
    I want a box-back coat and a Stetson hat
    (John B., that is)
    Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain
    So the boys will know that I died standin' pat
