Louis Armstrong-Danny Kaye

I have contributed more than a few times to the 232,059 times this YouTube video has been viewed. I love Louis Armstrong's infectious enthusiasm and I am intrigued by Danny Kaye's unique ability to communicate with every minute gesture. I always find myself wishing I was singing and dancing, not that I want to be Danny or Louis, but I want to be able to loose myself in the joy of that kind of expression. I realize however if I were to come even remotely close to trying it that first of all, my family would disown me, and second, there is a price to be paid in order to have the privilege of performing with such ease and pleasure. It's called years of practice and a fair amount of talent. It has to do with gifts and those are traits that have not been bestowed upon me. BUT... at some point in eternity I plan on getting up there with Louis and Danny and having the time of my life.

Here's to When the Saints Go Marching In. I hope makes you smile - broadly too!
