Ah, blogging mistakes...Some are more interesting than othes.

Bob, instead of singing your post, I meant seeing your post.

Also, the nickname "Goose" for a White man might also be because he is tall.

And given the example of the faithful lark that you gave from Tally's collection, I'm wondering if the name "Meadowlark" might have been given to signify [in the standard meaning of that word]that this child was a tribute to the mother's faithfulness (or the father's, or to signify that the child would be faithful to those he loved].

If I had an address for Meadowlark Lemon I'd ask him if he's share what-if anything-he was told about why he was given that name. If he learns about this discussion, I hope he knows that I mean him absolutely no disrespect.

And with that, I'm outta here for a while at least.
