Billy Tipton
As I was watching this DVD I thought of Billy Tipton. (She) Dorothy Tipton posed as a man most of her life. She wanted to be a jazz musician but as a woman could not be in a band. She successfully posed to the extent she married and they adopted several children. Her secret was not discovered by her children until after her death . She made 2 record albums which are collectable. Read her true story Suits Me, a fascinating book. They have talked about making it a movie. I have nothing but respect for ladies like Billy and Albert who just want to be what they want to be. Isn't that what life is all about?
