The lead sheet from this session was quoted in Storyville magazine many 
years back - written on it was the name "LIN or LILL" - I'm not going 
through the magazines to find the exact spelling.

Lil Armstrong was certainly in LA at the time - see BLACK BEAUTY, WHITE HEAT 
page 187. Frank Driggs was in no doubt that she played on that recording.
