Thread Name: Help: Blow monkey?
Subject: Blow monkey?
I'm probably going to regret this but a friend of mine (Pete Ryder - look out for his CD called Last Chance Saloon - it's brilliant) does a song called Nat Shapiro's time. I have discovered from the Mudcats excellent archieves that Nat Shapiro was a US showbiz agent responsible for making some Jazz musicians famous but one line in the song still puzzles me.

"One white boy, blow monkey. Blues serious, jazz junky.
Living life in Nat Shapiros time"

This is what I will probably regret...

What is a blow monkey?

Cheers
