Not disputing anything other than the history of a quote. One has to be very cautious when quoting anything found online. Best to always try to track down who really did or didn't say it. As Gandhi said (or didn't), "One who has cows has the care of cows."
My point was simply that Babs put it in a book, but apparently Lenny said it first, unless he heard her say it somewhere else pre-1999. You never know. Montreal is right on the border of Texas.
