    Dixie’s career was taking off like a rocket until she and the Yardsticks were hired to open for Louis Prima in Kansas City. One thing led to another, (as they always did with Louis) and not only did Dixie refuse to ever sing this song again, she got off the bus and hitch-hiked to the convent of the Benedictine Sisters of Perpetual Adoration. Now known as Sister Abstinencia, she declined to comment when asked about the re-discovery of her music. She turns 96 next Tuesday.
