Subject: Pseudonyms From: Will Bakker Date: 02 Jan 00 - 04:42 AM In the Mudcat café I met the strangest pseudonyms. What do they mean and why did you pick this particular one? Will Bakker (sounds strange, but is my real name) |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Jon Freeman Date: 02 Jan 00 - 05:24 AM Iv'e just been reading through the old thread and noticed a couple of changes which I found ammusing as the nicknames on the top of the posts have altered. Banjo Bonnie is explaining why she chose the name Little Neophyte and Margo is explaining why she can not use Margo and has to use Margarita. Jon |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Mbo Date: 02 Jan 00 - 10:14 AM People seem to think my pseudonym is a cover for my real name, but really it's been a nickname I've had for about 7 years. People in the real world actually call me this, so why not on Mudcat? :{> --Mbo |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: katlaughing Date: 03 Jan 00 - 01:42 AM Art, tell us more, please? |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Rick Fielding Date: 03 Jan 00 - 02:43 AM Well Art, although I've never stolen any songs, I have used pseudonyms at times to save myself from the embarrassment of being identified while playing truly AWFUL musical engagements.(gotta bring some folk music into this thread)
I was "Kent St.Clair" while playing the Howard Johnson's in St. Petersburg Fla. Rick |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Joe Offer Date: 03 Jan 00 - 02:56 AM Gee, Art - in one of his books, Pete Seeger said the Weavers used "Paul Campbell" as a pseudonym to represent the whole group, when they had written a song together. What songs shouldn't they have claimed as their own? How was their practice any different from the other folk artists of the era, who claimed copyrights for anything and everything? -Joe Offer- P.S. I don't know if I want to admit to knowing anybody who used "Kent St. Clair" as a stage name. A bit pretentious, one might say.... |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Liz the Squeak Date: 03 Jan 00 - 03:58 AM I am because I do. That isn't a pseudonym, it's a nickname and there is a difference. I've never tried to register anything with a pseudonym, except during a school competition where everyone had to be anonymous, to make it fairer. I was Harrieta Little. I won the singing competition with a rendition of the 'Love Story' theme, and had to sing in front of the whole school, who universally hated me...... LTS |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: Rick Fielding Date: 03 Jan 00 - 04:24 AM Actually Joe, re: the Weavers. It WASN'T a whole lot different than numerous other folk groups. We just though they should be a bit purer. Bob Gibson (a hero of mine) claimed authorship on many songs that were very similar to those written by actual living composers (Like Libba Cotton) Yeah "Kent St.Clair" WAS a bit pretentious...but the hotel loved it. Needless to say it was my idea of a joke, cause I hadda wear a suit and tie for the gig. There are a couple of (pseudo) folk albums out there with the designation: Lead guitar: Lance D. Boyle. I'll never give anymore info though! (it was a union thing) Rick |

Subject: RE: Pseudonyms From: arkie Date: 03 Jan 00 - 09:34 AM Once played at a party where the revelers danced to Mary Hamilton which I played on a mountain dulcimer. Wish I had used a pseudonym then. |
