I was listening to All things considered today and learned--as always--something very interesting. This week Satchmo's house has been opened as a museum. And --I did not know this-- he pretty much recorded everything that went on in that house. The house was hardwired with mics and tape recorders. There are literally thousands of reels of Louis Armstrong at home, jamming, at the dinner table, having spats with the missus. This precludes Nixon's ill-advised move to tap the whitehouse, and more significantly on the cultural scale, makes him the original Big Brother.
