Hezekiah Leroy Gordon Smith (August 14, 1909 – September 25, 1967), better known as #StuffSmith, an American #JazzViolinist is well known for the song "If You're a Viper" (You'se a Viper).

Smith was one of jazz music's preeminent #SwingEra #Violinists.
Smith was critical of the bebop movement, although his own style represented a transition between swing & bebop. He is credited as being the first #Violinist to use electric amplification techniques on a violin. #Jazz

Now teenagers play it from memory. Kids these days.
