Musings About Rum and Tomorrow
Posted: July 27, 2013 7:01 pm
Kicking back with a glass or seven of Bundaberg Rum (an acquired taste, but us Aussies were brought up on it) last night with a few tunes in the background.
Mañana was playing as I topped up the glasses - for medicinal purposes only, you understand....
The thought popped into my head "Is the lyric Callwoods rum or Calderwoods rum?"
The distillery in the BVI's is Callwoods, so I am confused.
I guess that it might have been changed due to the restrictions on commercial names in songs that got airplay in the US that were in place back in the 60's & 70's. Although by 1978 I thought the restrictions were done with.
Anyone got an insight?
Some research pulled up this gem:
