Louis Armstrong is just a little before my time, but I always liked this song. I hope you enjoy it--you just gotta love how his eyes pop out while he sings. Then, after he's done singing, cook up a batch of sweet potatoes, and have them with grilled hamburgers for dinner.
I found this recipe online. It adds just enough sweet, and the potatoes aren't mushy like at Thanksgiving. I've become adicted to them.
