Brian Towers wrote that Jelly Roll Morton's grandmother said: (when she
found out he was a whorehouse piano player)

"A musician is nothing but a bum and a scalawag.  I don't want you
around your sisters.  I reckon you better
move"

That say is all. ;-)  One of Charlie Hooks' non relative, universal
truths? :-)

Cheers,
