Now, I don't know how many people know this, but it was news to me. I was having a casual discussion with my Mum and I had just bought a copy of the Black Dog's "Parallel" and she pointed out that the phrase "The Black Dog" is an archaic expression for depression. The OED confirms this, and I just thought it worth noting in case anyone else is living in ignorance as I was. J ^ lost in music
