[Dixielandjazz] "Chippie" Hill

[Anton Crouch]

Hello all

Bertha "Chippie" Hill's nickname is ambiguous. It can mean both a young 
girl and a promiscuous woman or prostitute.

It's probable that, in Hill's case, the first use applies. Can anyone 
clarify the situation?

Hill's "Trouble in mind" (February 1926) has long been one of my 
favourites - in part because of the fine singing but also because of the 
magnificent long solo introduction by Louis Armstrong. By coincidence 
I'm playing this record tomorrow, in the course on Blues that I'm giving 
to our local University of the 3rd Age.

All the best,
Anton
