Interesting stories.

Have any stories that you wanna share, something that you heard once and it was so poignant to you, you never forgot it.

I always remember a story I heard once about, Louis Armstrong. One night in his later years, when he had been in the spotlight for many decades and was a living legend. He was in a hotel room, with a friend after a show. He was in his late 50's, still playing 300 shows a year, for small money, cause he loved it.

He's sitting around and says "isn't it amazing, I don't have to want anymore". He walks over to the fridge and opens it up and there's a carton of eggs in there, Louis says: "I can have eggs anytime I want now."

His friend was blown away to the point of tears. He said Louis, you should be able to pick up a phone and in a matter of seconds have the finest drink and caviar delivered to you at your whim. Yet he was greatful for something as simple as having eggs. It makes you think how we take things for granted. Yet a legend, an icon like Louis Armstrong can be thankful for a carton of eggs.
