The name "Funny Paper" Smith appears on his recordings, but was a Vocalion screw up! Funny Papa was his correct nickname...

This song is not on the CD but this song is NOT by Funny Papa. Funny Papa has a much deeper voice.

It was recorded in 1949 for Uptown with the flip being "Christmas Blues." His real name was Lavada Durst and he was the first black disc jockey in Texas on Austin‘s KVET. He published "The Jives of Dr.Hepcat" based on his outlandish radio patter. As a piano player he was influenced by Pete Johnson, Meade Lux Lewis, and locally by Robert Shaw. Cut early records on Peacock, Uptown and later recordings on Documentary Arts, Catfish and DA/Arhoolie. This is Dr. Hepcat. It was recorded in 1949 for Uptown with the flip being “Christmas Blues.”
