Instead of expressing anger at others it is more useful for me to uplift myself. Here is a classic song by a legend Louis Armstrong. It helps me. I hope you enjoy it as well.

Old School Friday: Louis Armstrong
The theme for this week's Old School Friday meme is 'When I Have A Bad Day At Work' ... when your boss is being extra foul, or your co-worker got a raise, but you did the work...what song do you play to ease the pain?

That's a classy way out! This song is beautiful and always reminds me to think of the the world in a larger sense.

Wow, great vintage video of the jazz master himself. I've never known Louis Armstrong's song titles by heart but when I heard this one for the first time on "Good Morning Vietnam" it was imprinted on the brain immediately.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the fact that it is so completely unjazzy that it threw me off. But you can't miss that distinctive voice. I love this song. Great choice.
Happy OSF.
