quote:"But it can backfire too," Herridge said. "Once in a while people think we are a house of ill repute. They will call up and say, 'What is your specialty?' I say, 'Well, we do a nice continental breakfast. It's very healthy.' They say: 'You know what I mean.' And I have to tell them that they've got the wrong idea."

I've always loved that song. What I've read is that the earliest known mention of a "House of the Rising Sun" was in an English ballad about a bordello that travelled to America. It's quite likely that "The Rising Sun" has been around in song for many a year, and it's quite possible a bordello was named after the one in the old song, followed by a new song evolving, about the new house.
