from this page, *jahganga7 wrote*

the violin player on that cut is known as "white rum" raymond.(from screaming target's liner notes.) apparently he was an old man who would play for the price of his next drink, and never recorded much other than a rare sit in.

the above should probably read..

"apparently he was an old man who would refuse to play unless you got him very drunk first"

raymond has feeling flowing like ... 'white rum'
