[Dixielandjazz] A new English word? (was: Roots of Dixieland Jazz and Haarlem DixielandBand)

[Pat Ladd]

Assuming your word "malody"* (sic) was a typo>>

Reminds me of the Indian chief who suffered from bad stomach ache.
He called the witch doctor who said "Take this strap of jerky. Chew it and 
when you have eaten it all, you will be fine"

The Chief summoned the witch doctor again in a week. "Hasn`t the pain gone? 
said the doctor. `Well` said the chief. `The thong is ended but the malady 
lingers on"

The debbil made me do it
