"Big-Foot/Bigfoot Land"

[FRITZ JUENGLING]

Big-foot Land--the South?  Dang, I thought you were talking about ORegon, Washington, and BC.

I didn't find these in HDAS or in DARE.

Big-Foot Land : the South; the point is that, since Southern blacks go
barefooted, they have bigger feet than their shoe-wearing Northern
relatives.

The Cotton Curtain : the Mason-Dixon Line in its extended meaning.

Behind the sun : down South; over 60,000 Google hits (this is also the
title of an R&B instrumental recorded before 1957 by at least two
different bands, the name of a vocal by the Red-Hot Chili Peppers, the
English title of a Brazilian movie, etc., etc.) reduced to one AMG
cite. However, the earliest AMG cite, 1959, is too recent to be the
record used as a themesong by a local St. Louis DJ ca.1953.

Above the magnolias : up North.

I know that this info may be worthless without any dates, except for
AMG's too-recent date of 1959. But, "what the hell, eh?" as a Canadian
friend says.
