There is no such thing as 'on the way out' as long as you are still doing something interesting and good; you're in the business because you're breathing.
"Louis Armstrong", nicknamed "Satchmo" or "Pops", was an American jazz trumpeter, singer, and an influential figure in jazz music.
Coming to prominence in the 1920s as an "inventive" trumpet and cornet player, Armstrong was a foundational influence in jazz, shifting the focus of the music from collective improvisation to solo performance. With his instantly recognizable gravelly voice, Armstrong was also an influential singer, demonstrating great dexterity as an improviser, bending the lyrics and melody of a song for expressive purposes. He was also skilled at scat singing (vocalizing using sounds and syllables instead of actual lyrics).

My whole life, my whole soul, my whole spirit is to blow that horn...
We all do 'do, re, mi,' but you have got to find the other notes yourself.
All music if folk music. I ain't never heard no horse sing a song.
I never tried to prove nothing, just wanted to give a good show. My life has always been my music, it's always come first, but the music ain't worth nothing if you can't lay it on the public. The main thing is to live for that audience, 'cause what you're there for is to please the people.
If ya ain't got it in ya, ya can't blow it out.
What we play is life.
If you have to ask what jazz is, you'll never know.
Never play a thing the same way twice.
