Subject: RE: BS: Your Nicknames
Most of the names that people call me, are not to be repeated in polite company...

In a flash of inspiration on stage one day, I introduced a Zook player who was filling in for my lead guitar player as Bazoukie Joe.. He ran with it and pulled his shirt up to just under his nose... and well, it's stuck...

THAT'S him playing zook in his dads band... Cool pic eh!

When my lead guitar player had to drop out of the scene for a while (nervous breakdown) he started being referred to as The Diamond, as in "Shine on, you crazy..." And well, Dan The Diamond has a really cool "Snatch" kinda feel...

A year or 2 ago, a young guy named Chris Angel appeared on our local folk scene, and I had the pleasure of saddling him with the moniker Kid Folk... Well, now he's leaving town, and I'm taking his place in Mic And The Distractions... So Mic was kind enough to make it known that henceforth, I would be referred to as Old Folk... Not to be out-done by that geezer, I stamped "Grand Folk" across his forehead, now NO ONE has a real name anymore! LOL!!

Beats being called "Red" I guess...
