On Behalf Of Ivor Jones
>It occurs to me that it is possible that is not used in the same way in the
States,

Ivor, calling something "Mickey Mouse" is a put-down, no matter which side
of the "pond" you reside.  It's not right, as many have pointed out...the
cartoon stuff is really hard to play, but that's the way the term is used.
It is a term applied to anything, not just music....as it "what a Mickey
Mouse hair-do".
