1909 - George Dixon was born on this day. A multi-instumentalist and native of New Orleans, Louisiana. He moved around with his father, a minister, throughout various parts of the South and first picked up an instrument at the age of 13. He would become closely associated with bandleader and pianist Earl Hines through the '30s. Although he dropped music as his full-time occupation in the early '50s, Dixon continued to gig on one, some, or all of his instruments until his death. He passed away in Chicago in August 1994 at the age of 85.
