This day in music history.

September 1, 1995, Jazz great Louis Armstrong is honored on a U.S. postage stamp. The sale is kicked off with a jazz festival in New Orleans featuring Wynton Marsalis, Al Hirt, Doc Cheatham and other jazz stars.
"The memory of things gone is important to a jazz musician.
Things like old folks singing in the moonlight in the back
yard on a hot night or something said long ago."
-Louis Armstrong-
