[Dixielandjazz] FW: Question? RE; Jelly Roll Morton

[Ric Giorgi]

>From Alistair Cooke's book "Memoires of The Great & The Good" p. 212


"One of his first regular jobs was delivering beer to the red light
district (a trade known in New Orleans as "the can rusher," which
the pimp and bawdy-house piano player Jelly Roll Morton boasted of
as his first paid - meaning honourable - job)."  

Hope this helps,

Would anyone connected to your organization know the meaning of a
statement
made by Jelly Roll on his Library of congress interview.
