I just happened to find this CD at the Humane Society Thrift Store in Pagaosa Springs, CO, where I own a little ranch with my 3 brothers. I go to this store every time I am there and always find something I want. I was just looking at the CDs and this one caught my eye, because I knew W.C. Handy and Louis Armstrong....I bought it and what a great album!!!!!
