Henry Miller and Katsimbalis

At the end of the previous reading, Henry Miller interacted with a Greek shop owner and his French wife (pp. 119-120). After the space break and the asterisk, Miller seems to be talking to that French woman (who hates Greece b/c it's not "civilized" in the way that Paris is). He says, Madame, since you were speaking of gardens..." (121) and the next several pages, he writes in this vein until the top of p. 127 where he writes, "This is positively the end. Bink-bink!" What's going on here? What is he trying to tell this woman and why?

He tells a story to her about Agamemnon (remember last class: Miller went to that tomb w/ Katsimbalis) who gave birth to two sons, Epaminondas and Louis the Armstrong (121). Agamemnon never existed; he was a king in Greek legend. Epaminondas did exist; he was a Greek general. So did Louis Armstrong, though he was not Greek, but American, an African American trumpet player who is considered one of the godfather's of jazz. Check him out:

What does Louis Armstrong have to do w/ this Ancient Greek history and myth? How does Miller use the term "riff" (121) or "jam" (123)? What is "the golden torque"? What is the "Dipsy-Doodle"?
