[Dixielandjazz] non-jazz {WAS: RE: When Country Meets Dixie}

[Bob Smith]

Dear Pat,

I confess that I had to look up 'halidom', because although I've heard the 
word I was somewhat unsure if its meaning.
I used my 1965 edition of 'The Penguin English Dictionary' (G.N. 
Garmonsway), and this enabled me to play one of my favourite trivial games, 
viz.:
At the top of each page the first and last words on the page are hyphenated 
together, and this gives some very interesting combination phrases.
Here are a couple of examples: 'fig-leaf--filler' and 'militarize-mincemeat' 
(shades of the Goon Show?).
Then there's the musical connection: 'obtainable-octet'.

Kind Regards

Bob Smith
