Armstrong spent his last decades in an ordinary Corona house and filled it with tapes, collages and scrapbooks he made himself — one of the strangest and most personal archives any musician has left. This is the neighbourhood talking about its own record of itself, in the building that holds it, which is a rarer thing than a museum talk.
What to expect
An afternoon gathering built around storytelling and discussion rather than performance. Indoors at the Armstrong Center.
