One of my favorite songs of all time is "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. It was chosen song the band played at our wedding for the bride and groom dance.

Its a great song BD, thanks for sharing honey.

Sadly, pride in one's work is a rare thing today.

I just bought a 2007 Lincoln MKZ AWD. When I looked it up there has been only one recall which was a small number for a floor mat that could interfere with the accelerator.

Congrats on the new ride, BD RD.

Any WUvie who enjoys Louis Armstrong and his music might like this alternate history story I wrote involving Satchmo.

What an excellent story Paul! I really like it.

Thanks, Patty!

Thanks, Paul! That was a truly original idea! The same sort of thing happened in the Nazi camps, They hated jazz music and regulated music of all types. The song in the post Weird Nazi dance band rules set to music is about the same sort of thing. To be clear, I really enjoyed your story a lot! :lol: :coolsmile:

BrokeDad, take a look at this video. They start out with the William Tell Overture, but at about 1:30 they go into What a Wonderful World.
