BS: Bruce CocHburn????

From: Art Thieme

I notice in an ad in the READER for his concert tonight(7/24 at Chicago's Navy Pier's Skyline Theater) that his last name is spelled with an "H" and not a "K". What's this all about?

And I also wonder what a newspaper article would say if Bruce Cockburn was ever bitten by a "cockbra snake"?

Art - that has to be a typo. His name is Cockburn, pronounced Co-burn.

Cheers,
Michael

PS: Have you listened to any of his music?

There is an excellent article about Cockburn in this summer's issue of Sing Out

I knew that. My second line (above) should've had a ;-) on it. Also, I always thought that a cobra was a bra for siamese twins !!

Love,

Art

That would be a 4-cup. Sounds possible. Bruce Cockburn is a great artist with an odd surname, but he has managed to do well in spite of it.

I always like that "silent letters" business......."Yes, my name is Jablonski, but you pronounce it Smith.".......LOL...What a crock!!! Ooops...make that "cro."

Friend John Hartford changed his name from HARFORD because people kept putting the "T" in there.
