The Kolding Caffe regulars are blessed with oodles of vintage music. This morning it is Louis Armstrong. Oodles of brambly crooning and ceaseless trumpeteering.

Addendum (December 14, 2011)

This morning I found Will Hughes’ electronic-mail message about this piece. Neil Armstrong is an astronaut, he explained. I must have had in mind Louis Armstrong, the jazz musician. Indeed. It shows my love of jazz pretty well. Anyhow, I changed the name at once, but I was one character too long for my haiku of one-hundred and sixty characters exactly. So, his scratchy crooning turned into brambly crooning in a jiffy. The word suits my purposes even better, I suppose. But all this would go unnoticed without my editor in chief. And it took him only a day to spot the boo-boo.
