Q-thanks for the notes on jeans and on tailors.
But as to this part:
"Assumption here that NO is meant in the song; it could have been Baltimore, etc. (And Nu Or-leens is commonly heard down there)."
Most early versions of the song say it's in New Orleans, so it's not an assumption as far as I can tell.
