The Strong

Louis Armstrong and a Mr. Michael Codd. One name might be familiar to you, but another one might not. Indeed they are both strong!Louis is a brilliant musician, and Michael Codd is a brilliant painter.

I happened to have the great privilege of viewing Mr. Codd's paintings in person (36" x 48 " gouache paintings- the man is for real!!!) and boy did I "hear the music".

So this one goes out to Michael Codd.
