That is an interesting question Jon. I always assumed the word "spoon" was coined by the tin pan alley boys because it rhymed so well with its frequent companions "moon", "June", and "soon"--but maybe there was some humor in their tin hearts and they thought of "spoonful" too.

Brian, I have seen a book with a very similar title and at least one of the authors (Calt) advertised in some Yazoo record notes. They claim it is published by Sanashe (or however you spell it) records.
