    “Little Louis” Armstrong was born — like so many who shaped American music — poor, black, and on the far side of the American Dream. His date of birth was August 4, 1901, although he believed that he was born on the Fourth of July, 1900. He never knew his father, who abandoned the family when Armstrong was an infant, and his mother, Maryann, worked at whatever jobs she could find, including prostitution. He grew up in Storyville, the violent red light district of the Crescent City, and learned about life from the pimps, gamblers, prostitutes, thieves, and other denizens of the streets who inhabited his childhood world. He went to the Fisk School for Boys, the same school that Buddy Bolden, the man credited with inventing jazz, had attended. He stayed in school until he was eleven, but finally abandoned academic pursuits to try and make his way on the streets. He worked for a Jewish merchant named Morris Karnofsky who showed the boy kindness and even advanced him five dollars to buy his first cornet from a pawnshop. Karnofsky understood that Armstrong had “music in his soul” and thought the boy might be able to become a musician.…

Most of the pacts are not fulfilled due to the group, individual or organizations not able to fully commit to living out the pact requirements.

    The Concepts of Unity and VarietyLet's begin by listening to two fundamental concepts that make a piece of music "work"—the concepts of unity and variety.

Whereas unity satisfies the human need for sameness and familiarity, variety sustains our interest and appeals to our need for, and enjoyment of, the new, different, and unexpected.…

The Scotland Act 1998 states the powers of the Scots Parliament to pass legislation and the areas where it cannot pass legislation. There are devolved and reserved matters.
