	Tim Cahill returns to his blues roots in Chicago. By Tim Cahill
		It was Armstrong who taught jazz stylists to sing so that their voices sounded like their horns; he taught them how to play the cornet or trumpet so that it sounded like a voice.
		Coffins were punctured and sunk with weights, which didn't stop them from floating up out of the cemeteries and down the streets of the French Quarter on stormy nights.
		A sign says this is the "final resting place of the faithful departed awaiting resurrection on the last day." Some of them were awaiting it in fine whitewashed vaults with their names on them; others were waiting in low nameless broken-down slums, tombs falling in on themselves and open to the sky above.
