This is starting to get spooky. First of all a Kate and Anna McGarrigle thread about "Talk to Me of Mendocino" about a week after I buy the CD for the first time just to learn that song and sing it 'n' now a thread about a song that our little group has just learned and sung in public for the first time about a week ago. You're not watching me are you...? If so your cameras are running slow ... by about a week. Vague feelings of paranoia aside, I suspect that the phrase "A slice of onion and a raw one" may be from the street slang of the 40's but this is the only place I've heard it. Anyone know the derivation or what context it was used in? Gray D (you ain't seen me, roight? [UK comedy reference])
