[Dixielandjazz] Re: BEER

[Mike Durham]

Also Alcoholic Blues (revived by the great Clancy Hayes), Hello Montreal, as 
previously mentioned ("With a stein upon the table, I'll be laughing at you 
all"), and all the songs and blues about "Jake Leg", a paralysis induced by 
drinking Jamaican ginger ("jake") as a substitute for alcohol during P
Prohibition (and Canned Heat, for that matter). Cocktails For Two also 
alludes to the end of Prohibition, bringing us back to Spike Jones and the 
dreaded WASHBOARD...

Mike (What's the use of getting sober, when you're gonna get drunk again) 
Durham
