Jim,

The Ogden Nash quote is from 'Speak Low - From: Musical Production 'One
Touch Of Venus' - Written by: Ogden Nash and Kurt Weill but "an oboe is an
ill wind which blows no one good" has been traced back to Shakespere
http://lists.washburn.edu/pipermail/doublereed-l/2003-January/000438.html,
and even earlier in
http://www.holoweb.net/~liam/pictures/oldbooks/proverbs/pp02-03.jpg . It is
also used in a Danny Kay film 'Walter Middy's Secret Life' in the song by
Sylvia Kay (his wife) called 'Anatole of Paris'
