Louis Armstrong was a famous jazz musician. He was known for his great sense of humor. His mouth was so large that it seemed to cover his entire face when he laughed, and he laughed often. His friends, referring to his mouth, called him Gatemouth, Dippermouth, and Satchelmouth. Fashionable at that time, a satchel is a very large handbag.
