While on a Goodwill Tour of Africa and the Middle East, Lucille Wilson sits captivated as her husband Louis "Satchmo" Armstrong plays the trumpet for her in front the ancient sphinx and pyramids of Giza, Egypt. If you're wondering what it would feel like to have one of the greatest musicians of all time all time performing only for you, the expression on Mrs. Armstrong's face sums it up nicely.
