Floyd 'Dipper Boy' Council played guitar, mandolin, and sang around Chapel Hill, North Carolina, recording for the American Record Company in 1937 and backing fellow Piedmont bluesman Blind Boy Fuller on several sessions. He recorded only a handful of songs across his career and never achieved wide recognition in his lifetime. He's best known today for lending his first name — alongside Pink Anderson's — to Pink Floyd, after Syd Barrett spotted both names in a 1962 reissue's liner notes.
