Hello all

I can confirm that the new "The world in a jug" has nothing to do with 
Roland Gant's "World in a jug".

As Bill points-out, Gant's work is a novel. I have the 1961 Penguin edition.

Blues enthusiasts will recognise the words of the title - from Alberta 
Hunter and Lovie Austin's "Down hearted blues".

"I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I got the world in a jug, the stopper's in my hand
I'm gonna hold it 'till you men come under my command"

All the best,
Anton
