[Dixielandjazz] Bimbo

[Stan Brager]

Wasn’t his name Nick LaRocca and not Rick LaNocca? Or was this some joke which I don’t get?

Excellent choice of music !  

 

I seem to remember 

"I'm gonna take my Bimbo back to bamboo isle " 

 

and rather fancy the development 

"slake my Bimbo's back with Sun-tan Yle "  

 

though this would appeal only to Scotsman -- though OIL (which is YLE in Scots) 

isn't unamenable to rhymes 

 

slake one's bimbo's back in suntan oil

and from sunburnt spirals watch the witch uncoil ....

 

One probably requires a lyric at least to show people on paper, 

since Bimbo as a generic and gendered term might offend feminists -

 

or claim that Clarence Williams stole the tune & title from Rick LaNocca, the corniest Italian 

BUt then again NOCCA is the acronym for NEW ORLEANS CENTER FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS 

 

Clarence Williams Forever!
