Returning to the death of Fats Waller, it is said that that day (Dec. 15, 1943) the train, on which his great friend Louis Armstrong was travelling, found itself by chance to cross that of Waller, stopped near Kansas City for his death, and that, as soon as the Armstrong train stopped there, Louis went down and ran to Waller, now already dead. Waller's ashes were scattered by a airplane on Harlem.
