Wonderful. Great. He was an example of a guy - I never heard a bad word about him at all. Never. He made you feel like you - when you first meet him, he made you feel like you're brothers, like you've known him for years. Down to earth. Bing Crosby loved him. Ella Fitzgerald loved him. Pearl Bailey loved him. Presidents loved him. He did more going to Europe than the politicians ever [? ] from Congress. He went over there, played one number, and made everybody come together. Louis Armstrong. When they talk about him, they talk about the beginning and the end. For me to have a chance to play - record with him and Ella Fitzgerald together, and to play with Pops. I had an experience in Las Vegas at the Hilton Hotel. They had Louis Armstrong's band and Pearl Bailey together. So our dressing rooms were together. Open the door, and there's Louis Armstrong. All that time we belonged together, Pearl Bailey was trying to get me to do a hobby - paint or do something besides drumming. "Why don't you learn to do something else? " The three of us were walking from the dressing room to the stage together: Pops, Pearl Bailey, and myself. I was Little Louie, he was Big Louie, and Pearl Bailey was Pearl Bailey. So Pearl Bailey would say to Big Louie, "Big Louie, why don't you teach Little Louie a hobby or something? He's into drums. That's great. But healthwise, he should do something different. " So all that time for three weeks, Pops would shake his head and say "Yeah, oh yeah" in that growling voice, "Yeah yeah yeah. " Finally, during the last day, she said - Pearl Bailey said to Louis Armstrong on the way to the stage, "Did you come up with something, Louie? " He says, "I don't know, Pearl Bailey. All I need is my trumpet, a bottle of booze, and a young chick. That's all. " Pearl Bailey wouldn't talk to either one of us. That was Louis Armstrong. I said, "Big Louie, you said the wrong thing. I'm in the doghouse with you. I'll see you after the show. " During all this, humor was a big factor in a career of someone like I am. Humor, as well as artistry, having faith in what you do, playing for Presidents, playing for people all over the world, instilling your idea of what love is all about. Music carries you through sadness, through happiness, and humor plays a big part of that. We were able to go with the blows. If something happened to your family, we learned how to deal with it and carry on. All those things were very obvious with all the people we mentioned in this taping - the fact that they had humor. They learned how to cry as well as smile through objects. Can you imagine just let alone to know the obstacles that Duke Ellington had working on the road in those early years? That's something right there. But they were great enough to hurdle over those obstacles and come out shining like a rose. So that's one of the other big factors I learned. That's why I say I was fortunate to be able to play with all those great artists, because I had - it rubbed off on me. It rubbed off on Clark Terry. Anybody that worked with Duke Ellington had to have that kind of feeling for him. So today - you notice I don't - you mention Duke Ellington's name. All these different things come up, because he was such a giver, such a great man, that you use his name in happiness, in sadness, in humor, or in dignity, in life. Can't beat that.
