As I mentioned the other day, Pops: A Life of Louis Armstrong, like Dolly Levi, is still going strong. Not only will the corrected paperback edition be published by Mariner Books on October 7–which happens to be the third anniversary of my marriage to Mrs. T–but I continue to make Pops-related public appearances around the country. The latest of these is an outdoor reading and signing at New York’s Bryant Park that takes place on Wednesday, for which I’ll be joined by Jon-Erik Kellso, a tradition-minded trumpeter who knows his Pops backwards and forwards.
The festivities start at 12:30. For more information, go here and scroll down.
