[Dixielandjazz] Sister Kate

[confit at isp.com]

According to the ASCAP webpage, Armand Piron is the composer of "I Wish I
Could Shimmy Like My Sister Kate." The story I recall is that Armstrong
sold the tune to him for $25 (and wasn't paid), although the original was
something like "Why Don't You Keep of Katie's Head." Kid Ory recorded the
tune as such.

Sister Kate was published by Clarence Williams music in 1921.

Cheers,
Chris
