[Dixielandjazz] Knurr

I discovered that our phishy John Knurr's surname is the norwegian for the above fish, notable for GROWLING -- you'd not be happy in a net, either!
Bubber Miley, Herb Morand etc., apart, it reminds me of the classic label misprint on a record by Blind Lemon Jefferson, patently innocent THAT CRAWLING BABY BLUES was mistyped on labels GROWLING BABY BLUES
-- I wonder whether Lemon ever worked with his fellow Texan Coley Jones? saithe the blues researcher. 

"I wish I was a catfish" is of course the theme tune of all would-be stride pianists, since one German variety of catfish is known and eaten as WALLER 

ANY MORE OF THIS AND PEOPLE WILL BE SINGING LIPS' PAGE'S "Fish for Supper"
