Louis Armstrong's nickname Satchmo is short for Satchelmouth because of the way his cheeks puff up when he played.
When I drive to and from work I like to keep a little digital voice recorder with me to make little notes to myself about things I hear on the radio or see during my drive. I brought my voice recorder with me this morning to Burger King to catch up on things I have been meaning to research, and Satchmo was one of them. I didn't even know that Satchmo was Louie Armstrong let alone what the etymology was.
