I love Luie. When you listen to his music you can tell he was having fun doing it

I've heard the body makes trumpeting sounds after it has expired. Pity those weren't recorded.

CBS News Cultural Correspondent Wynton Marsalis? They were serious? Are they sure he isn't CBS News Senior Cultural Correspondent Wynton Marsalis?

Well, I know he kind of dropped out of the public eye after the Apollo program ended, but I didn't think he was dead.

I love him like a fat kid loves cake. His is the type of music you want to play when you're just chilling out. Such a talent.

He retired form competitive cycling last year, but you never know when he might decide to take another shot at the Tour de France.

Is there any footage of him playing a rusty trombone?

Don't call him Luie. He hated that. He preferred to be called Louis. And you are absolutely right about his playing.

Louis Armstrong - "West End Blues"

The recording that began it all, and opened the door for jazz soloists.

When he arrived at the pearly gates an angel asked, "name?"
He replied, "Louis Armstrong"
Gabriel, "Oh, shiat!"

Quick, somebody find a grotesquely fat aborigine to mash it up with a completely inappropriate ballad on a ukelele and trick everyone into thinking its an improvement.
