HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DINK JOHNSON!

Ollie 'Dink' Johnson (1892-1954) was a Dixieland jazz musician who began recording in 1922 with Kid Ory's Band.  In some of his later recordings he played the piano, clarinet, and drums, overdubbing the instruments.  A main influence on Johnson's piano style was Jelly Roll Morton, who was Johnson's common-law brother-in-law through his half-sister Bessie.
