QTE
They tell the story like this: Louis "Satchmo"
Armstrong had just finished a set in a Harlem club
patronized, as these places were in 1920s and '30s, by
well-heeled white nightclubbers. A soceity matron
approached Satch and asked him to "define jazz."

"Lady," he replied, mopping his brow with his
trademark handkerchief, "if I have to tell you, you'll
never know." End-QTE

Pray tell us what is going on........is MG referring
to meeting the legend in Bombay in 1964 or NewYork in
the 1920s........MG appears to have got to Harlem
long-long before I got there..........or is this
another bout of
"pulling wool over our eyes". Just asking........

Just as his irrelevent mention of Chimbel in a
discussion on Kashmir in another post, here we see
Bosco post a quote by Louis Armstrong made before I
was born, while insinuating that I was "pulling wool
over our eyes" when I wrote about a similar one I
personally heard him make to an Indian reporter who
asked a similar question in 1964.

Is it unusual for an American to mop his brow in
Bombay in summer? Anyone who saw Louis Armstrong
knows he sweated a lot.
