[Dixielandjazz] Belgian Beer

[ROBERT R. CALDER]

The drink (ichor Belgarum) Marek refers to is properly spelled 

HOEGARDEN 

which reminds me of the Al Grey line about an English friend prevailed upon by
his wife to use a lawn-mower, and injured in the process. 
Al of course said that the man shouldn't have been mowing a lawn, he being a
musician.  Mrs. Humphrey Lyttelton was reported as unimpressed by an attempt 
to plead exemption on the same grounds. 

Marek's mis-spelling 
HOAGARDEN is however not reprehensible.  In saying so I risk accusations 
of trying to take the Carmichael,  but who am I to suggest that Marek Jack 
in the beer-drinking and stick to Tea ..... 

The old ones are the best 
and those too young may make nothing of the above bag of antiques
