Bye N’ ByeLouis Armstrong

Bye bye blues.... bye bye blues
Bells ring.... birds sing
Sun is shin-in'.... no more pin-in'

Just we two...smil-in' through
Don't sigh....don't cry
Bye bye blues

Bye bye blues....i'm sayin' bye bye blues
Bells will ring and birds all sing
Stop your mope-in', keep on hope-in'

You and me....can't you see
Now don't you sigh.....and don't you cry
Bye bye blues

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.
