where does Conky Tonkin' come from? Is this Jimmy's way of saying Honky Tonkin', or is there a better explanation as to where the term came from? Thanks.

It's just a play on the word honky tonk... except since Jimmy is known as an artist who plays "caribbean rock", his version is Conky (Conch-y) tonk, after the Conch that is the symbol of the keys.

At least the newbie got his answer before this thread was hijacked! 
BTW, what do you make that jelly out of? It's so clear and prettymuch

Would it help to know I heard the term used in the late 70's and early 80's to describe some music in the beer joints in the Keys and South Florida.Key Lime Lee wrote:It's just a play on the word honky tonk... except since Jimmy is known as an artist who plays "caribbean rock", his version is Conky (Conch-y) tonk, after the Conch that is the symbol of the keys.

Boy oh boy, I leave for half a day and all hell breaks loose. I do appreciate the answer before the highjacking. After that, anything goes. BTW, thanks for the answer.
I have learned that I had better keep my questions to Buffett-related topics.
