The online "michaelminn armstrong" discography states: 'The original album was released on Audio Fidelity as "Louie and the Dukes" (one of the few times you'll see Armstrong referred to on LP as "Louie").'
"Lucille" was Louis's wife, presumbly she was watching the session.
Majestic playing from Louis! Wow!
The 30 second bass-brass solo at 2:50 is played by Rich Matteson on a helicon, a brass musical instrument in the tuba family. The sousaphone is a specialized version of helicon.
