World who knew him (including ex-wives), the mature Armstrong's career was dazzling, his life positively storybook. And through it all, he smoked his gage. "His regimen," wrote David A. Jasen and Gene Jones in Black Bottom Stomp (Routledge, 2002), "included a daily dose of Swiss Kriss (an herbal laxative that he swore by), a few applications of the lip salve made for him by a German trombonist named Franz Schuritz, some red beans and rice -- when he could find them on a hotel menu -- and several marijuana cigarettes." Despite his habit, he was always a meticulous professional, dependable, emotionally stable and universally cherished for his folksy wit and wisdom. http://www.cannabisnews.com/news/thread17749.shtml --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, "Llundrub" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I used to wait tables at a Sheraton here in NOLA where all they played needless to say was Old Satchmo.
