Can I change mine? It should have been Blind Chester "Crawdad" Johnson. Some of you who have seen the Eupnoria String Band will appreciate the change.

According to the formula I would be Crippled Eye Davis. I prefer Blind Lemon Pledge. Or Blind Funk Earwax.

Jim, I have seen a picture of the Euphoria String Band. Are they one and the same?

Fortunato, One and the same as what? That's me with the stupid grin on my face if you've seen the photo where we linked arms while standing in front of our instruments. Or, in the close-up, I'm the guy with the fiddle on the left side of the photo.

PS, the other thing I like about the new blues name is that there are three US Presidents alluded to: Chester A. Arthur, Andrew Johnson and of course everybody's favorite, LBJ.

"Gravy Back Jackson".... Hmmm. Has a nice ring to it, but it sounds awfully messy.

This is unfair! There's no provision for people with three given names. I don't know whether I'm "Fat Fingers Parker" or "Fingers Dog Parker", which is quite an identity crisis, to be sure!

At least there's no confusion as to my Authentic Indian Name (see my recent thread on that topic).

Well Jim, you spelled it Eupnoria and I spelled in Euphoria. From way back here in Silver Spring it could be two different bands. I'll go check the picture for fools grinning. cheers, chance

My blues name is Big Foot Parker. I am a woman, and wear a size 11 shoe. Coincidence?? Maybe-maybe not!?

Boney Legs Rivers or Brown Rivers, depending on which version of my name I use. The second sounds like the pollution problem Back East. *LOL*

...but Fortunato has the right idea, (in this town, he may remember, our dearly departed bluesman, Dave Olive, was once led onstage at the Getaway wearing dark glasses and introduced as "Blind Harry Palms"..other incarnations included "Blind Ethnic Feedback")

Celtic Soul: perhaps there aren't any pretty livers in Blues (unless it is said sardonically by a Medical Examiner or Home Office Pathologist ...

However, is this system trying to tell me something ?

Harrumph, using the formula, which I didn't bother to do the first time (how typical) I came up with Boney Dog Smith. I muuch prefer Blind Chester "Crawdad" Johnson.
