Malcolm Miller - Snuff Dipper (2:33)
I don't know about anyone else, but whenever I see an actual street address, as opposed, say, to a Post Office box, listed on a record label that put out something really odd or exciting, I sometimes cannot resist going to Google maps to check to see if a "street view" photo is available. So many weird records came from labels set up in small, unassuming houses in very normal looking neighborhoods. Below is the Hunstville, Alabama house from which Snuff Dipper emerged.

Please enjoy the memorabilia pictured above while you listen to her xmas album classic; I Know What He Wants for Christmas...But I Don't Know How to Wrap it!
While in Reno, stay at the Kay Martin Lodge.

Schoolgirls, Airplanes, and Motor Vehicle Operators
"Good Morning Little School Girl" was popular enough that one of its verses, the one about getting an airplane and flying it all over your town, was given its own franchise with "Airplane Blues".
And then Memphis Minnie gave it new lyrics and had a big old hit with "Me and My Chauffeur Blues". Fittingly, Chuck Berry, no slouch when it comes to songs about schoolgirls, automobiles and occasionally even airplanes, re-shaped it into "I Want To Be Your Driver", one of his many criminally under-rated mid 60's recordings.
So here are those and others, as always presented in the scratchiest fidelity available for your responsible home use as consenting adults.
Sonny Boy Williamson - Good Morning Little School Girl
Sleepy John Estes - Airplane Blues
Blind Boy Fuller - Flyin' Airplane Blues
Memphis Minnie - Me And My Chauffeur Blues (1941)
Muddy Waters - Good Morning School Girl
Nina Simone - Chauffeur
Memphis Minnie (w/Little Walter!) - Me And My Chauffeur Blues (1952)
Junior Wells & "Friendly Chap" - Good Morning Schoolgirl
Lattie Murrell - Good Morning Little School Girl
Mississippi Fred McDowell - Good Morning Little School Girl
Chuck Berry - I Want To Be Your Driver
Larry Williams - Little School Girl
Thanks to Andy Maltz for putting on his pants and leaving the house to loan me some of these recordings, and to Robert Crumb (in advance) for not suing us for using his Sleepy John Estes drawing.
