Music Jokes:
Satchmo always got his hair cut in the salon of Monsieur Dudas in New Orleans' French Quarter. As a young, penniless artist, he ran up quite a bill there. Since he couldn't pay, he promised instead to advertise for the hairdresser. That's why he ended so many songs by "... Ah, Barber Dudas" Submitted by: Lars
| This is a true story related on the Ken Bruce show on Radio 2. Someone on a quiz show was asked who Louis Armstrong was and the guy answers 'He was the first man on the moon!' confusing him with Neil Armstrong. I just picture Satchmo on the moon, singing 'What A Wonderful World'! Submitted by: Pickle*

Songs That Open With Their Titles:
"Hello, Dolly!"
Opening Lines: I said hello, dolly, ... well, hello, dolly It's so nice to have you back where you belong.
Comments: "Hello, Dolly!" was the #1 song that broke the Beatles string of #1 hits back in 1964, according to Billboard Magazine's HOT 100 charts. Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong sang this tune from the hit Broadway play and took it to #1 in May 1964. That is also him playing the solo trumpet on the record. "Hello, Dolly!" was so popular, both as a Broadway musical and a hit song, that President Lyndon Baines Johnson's re-election campaign (actually finishing up the term of the assassinated JFK) reworded the song and used it in the re-election campaign as, "Hello, Lyndon!"
