I've since read "The Red Envelope" and really enjoyed it (and all the period references).

"Folk jazz" usually refers to groups like Pentangle, which had a completely different sound. <br /><br />By the way, in my story, I mentioned the term "moldy fig," which would also apply. It was a term used proudly by supporters of old-fashioned jazz, such as Dixie style. See Dave Van Ronk's excellent autobiography THE MAYOR OF MACDOUGALL STREET.

My next thought was I should ask Rob– he'll know for sure!Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-88701361516707654812013-05-15T05:09:54.804-04:002013-05-15T05:09:54.804-04:00Rob, all I can add to Dixon's comment is, &quo...Rob, all I can add to Dixon's comment is, "Ditto."

No wonder you won! Your story was fantastic, and reminded me of one reason I particularly enjoy reading certain writers’ work: <i>I find myself longing to spend time with the characters they’ve created on the page.</i> <b>What a crew, Buddy!</b> Loved ‘em all – particularly the protagonist, and one I’ll call “ol’ nom-interchangeable”. And, your plot kicked #&*! <br /><br />Give us these guys, again – I’m beggin’ ya’, man!<br /><br />--DixDixon Hillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11220791609338404147noreply@blogger.com
