Giggling quietly Art. Micca I think there are many who would agree that I have a dirty mind but not as many who would call it 'wonderfully' dirty. Thank you. I have followed this thread with delight as it has rambled and so far the only conclusion I can come to is; gig - a job, especially a booking for a jazz musician, probably Old Norse in origin. Which just starts up some wonderful imagery. Grendel on sax is one, with Grendel's mother quelling too disrespectful audience members.
