barrelhouse
- n a cheap drinking and dancing establishment
- Jazz, blowsiest of the arts, has been disgracefully lax about keeping her barrelhouse in order.
- Eleven years ago he was plunking out "back-beat," barrelhouse piano while he sold "snowballs" (shaved ice and flavoring) from a New Orleans streetside stand.
- As an early fan of Ray Charles, and a collector of his LPs, I noticed that a few Charles songs like "Mess Around" with its barrelhouse piano signatures and neck-snapping back .
