Billy Tipton, born Dorothy Lucille Tipton in Oklahoma City in 1914, was a jazz pianist. He found opportunities for women in this area quite limited--indeed, his KC, MO high school did not allow girls to join its marching band. He studied jazz piano and sax anyway. Dorothy began performing as a man in 1933. Billy played piano with Louvenie’s Western Swingbillies, Scott Cameron, George Meyer, and Ross Carlyle before founding The Billy Tipton Trio, featuring Dick O'Neill (drums) and Kenny Richards
