Satchmo!

I don't know why they called him Satchmo, if it was a role, a slur that became a nickname (and if some find it offensive, sorry, but just Google Satchmo and up pops Louis Armstrong.)

The nickname "Satchmo" did not come from a Yiddish term, but is a portmanteau of "satchel mouth."

Thanks for Moonriver. It’s a slow waltz. Waltzes are heart chakra dances. So lovely.
