Since I have spent the past three years surfing the web 9+ hours a day, 5+ days a week, I can usually find what I am looking for. Today however, I am so far fruitless in my search for a genuine definition of the term "mash note."
Though it was probably coined sometime in the '30s, the term is still in use today, particularly by film and book reviewers (
Almost Famous is Russell Crowe's mash note to the sixties...) yet the best I can come up with is pithy contextual usages:

but no definitions. Any suggestions would be
much appreciated!
