Hurricane Ida wrecked Louis Armstrong’s 'second home'
was destroyed when Hurricane Ida swept through New Orleans on Sunday .
The so-called Karnofsky Store, built prior to WW1 on South Rampart Street, several blocks from the French Quarter, was a regular haunt for Armstrong. As a youngster, he worked for the Karnofsky family, Jewish immigrants from eastern Europe who ran the shop and lived above it. He ate meals at the apartment, and it was at here that the master trumpeter played his first instrument.The Karnofskys nurtured his career and loaned him money to buy a cornet. Morris Karnofsky, the son of the family and Armstrong’s childhood friend, helped shape the scene when he opened the first jazz record store in New Orleans, Morris Music.
