Hilarious title, too! Is that some british saying? Ronnie liked to tell jokes and throw out one-liners in his club and during his own sets. I never heard him say it and I don't know if he invented it (I seeem to remember another one of his about a dog) but I have heard him throw around his favorite 'When I want your opinion I'll give it to you', also an album title as I am sure you know. Some people used to feel that if Ronnie had been American he would have got a lot more recognition. Yes, Ronnie felt he was held back by his humble origins. As he said: "I was born in a room over a Jewish pub in the East End of London. It was called The Kosher Horses. We were very poor. My father was always unemployed - he was a shepherd. We were so poor, they had to buy my clothes from the Army and Navy Store. Imagine me going to school during the Second World War wearing a Japanese admiral's uniform!"

"Brass monkey" appeals to me, as in: "It's cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey." Do you have brass monkeys in the U.S. as well?

I seem to remember it as "backsick".

A very fair account, Sidewinder. I was lucky to see the Jazz Couriers live in a Manchester club in 1958.

Now in my last days of free listening and thoroughly enjoying this date: The Brian Lynch group "Unsung Heroes" with Vincent Herring at Smalls on Thursday May 21st 2009 Brian Lynch (tpt) Vincent Herring (alt) Alex Hoffman (tnr) Rob Schneidermann (pno) David Wong (bs) Peter Van Nostrand (dms)

Looks interesting, David. I shall be listening!
