"Dixiebelle" was songstress with the
late Chet Bogan's Wolverine Jazz Band

Sid and Al were sitting in a Chinese
restaurant.
"Sid," asked Al. "Are there any Jews
in China?"
"I don't know," Sid replied. "Why
don't we ask the waiter?"
When the waiter came by, Al asked
him, "Are there any Chinese Jews?"
"I don't know, sir, let me ask," the
waiter replied, and he went into the
kitchen.
He returned in a few minutes and
said, "No, sir. No Chinese Jews."
"Are you sure?" Al asked.
"I will check again, sir," the waiter
replied, and went back into the kitchen.
While he was still gone, Sid said, "I
can't believe there are no Jews in China.
Our people are scattered everywhere."
When the waiter returned, he said,
"Sir, no Chinese Jews."
'Are you really sure?" Al asked again.
"I can't believe there are no Chinese
Jews."
"Sir, I ask everyone," the waiter
replied, exasperated. "We have orange
jews, prune jews, tomato jews and
grape jews, but no one ever hear of
Chinese jews!"
