HONEYDRIPPER-- HDAS? A cartoon in DOWN BEAT, 14 January 1946, pg. 10, col. 3, has someone shouting "Honeydripper!" to an orchestra. JONATHAN GREEN'S "THE HAWK"--The Cassell Dictionary of Slang has "1930s+" for "hawk" and "Hawkins." This would rule out Coleman Hawkins and Erskine Hawkins, as I've said. Cites?
