"According to what TBJ told Eli Kaufman, Jazzbo was his dog’s name. The bridge rasp/ head thump was the dog chasing his tail."

Does anyone have a clue as to who Jacko is and what parade is referred to in the title? My only guess is Jack-O-Lantern, but I don’t know if that was a tradition in England when this piece was…Continue

"Oh, okay thanks Jody. I think Jazzbo was also a slang term for a sharply dressed black man. "
"Thank you for your responses. Whether or not I have a definitive answer I've certainly learned something new! I love these discussions and appreciate you all so much."

"Jacko was a famous Brit clown...but post Morley, I think."
"Wait, I know, don’t tell me — Jacko is a horse, right? ;)"
