What is a blues singer, a good or a bad one? I say he's just a meal ticket for the man or woman who wears dollar signs for eyes - Big Bill Broonzy, quoted by Yannick Bruynoghe in Big Bill Blues, Da Capo Press

Re-listening, and hearing that the word in question is pronounced with an opening "kw" consonant sound, as opposed to being pronounced the same as "curl", I agree that it should be transcribed as "quirl" and will make that change.

Glad you made that change. I was about to post a Johnny Temple song (there are others on weeniepedia with the "coil" line) when you accepted "quirl".
I'll post it anyway;

Sure enough, and I've just made the correction there, too.

Thanks, John.

And thanks Markc for the additional info on "quirl". Especially the snake reference.
