Christmastime in New Orleans – A Bouncy, Updated Version of the Louis Armstrong Classic by James Andrews

This is a great video with a whole slew of fantastic New Orleans Christmas scenes all over the city. The shot of the black Santa… pretty cool.

I’m performing my annual Christmas concert at the Neutral Ground Coffee House this Saturday and I usually do this song Satchmo style. But, heck, Im going to do it this new way. I think I like it better.
