Just One Of Those ThingsLouis Armstrong

It was just one of those things, just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things
It was just one of those nights, just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings, just one of those things
If we´d thought of it, of the end of it, when we started painting the town
We´d have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and Amen, here´s hoping we´ll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was just one of those things

Just one of those things, mamma just one of those crazy flings
One of those bells that now and then rings, just one of those things
One of those nights, just one of those fabulous flights
A trip to the moon on gossamer wings, mamma just one of those things
If we´d thought of it, of the end of it, when we started painting that town
We´d have been aware that our love affair was too hot not to cool down
So goodbye, dear, and Amen, here´s hoping we´ll meet now and then
It was great fun but it was just one of those things

Louis Armstrong

Louis Armstrong, known throughout his lengthy career by nicknames like “Satchmo”, “Pops” and simply “Louie”, was a trumpeter, composer, singer and occasional actor, as well as one of the most influential figures in the history of jazz.

Born and raised in New Orleans, where jazz itself is alleged to have began, Armstrong started his career in 1918, playing the cornet in brass bands and riverboats along the Mississippi River. There, he caught the attention of his future mentor, King Oliver, joining his band in Chicago, where he networked with other popular jazz musicians like Hoagy Carmichael and his first wife Lil Hardin Armstrong.

In 1924, Louie relocated to New York City playing for the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra. It was at this time he switched over from cornet to trumpet in order to blend in better with the other musicians in his section. It was also when he developed his emotional playing style, which included singing and telling tales of his life back in New Orleans.
