Right, I've got the CBG, I've got the blues, I've got the tunes. Just need a blues name now. Any suggestions about traditions in choosing one or do they have to be given to you once you've paid your dues at the crossroads?

Insert your initials and you have your Bluesname, mine is Jailhouse Lemon Baily...... think i'll just stick with Bluesdog
Hmm my name apparently is Jailhouse Dog Rivers. Not convinced. Plus if I ever become a blues god and someone asks me how I got my name, it wont have the same cred saying that I got it off t'internet as saying that it was handed down by some bloke who taught me how to play guitar at night in the cemetary. Thanks anyway Bluesdog and yes, Bluesdog is much better than Jailhouse Lemon Baily.

Jailhouse Harp Davis is my new name. Ah the electronic age.
LOL mine would be skinny bones lee, which is funny because I weigh over 300 lbs.
Mine was "Big Fingers Parker" - The "big fingers" actually fits for me. Some friends actually call me "Sweet & Low T" - think I'll stick with plain old Tom.
'San Jose' was what came up for me.

I went with mine just a few days ago after I found out I need a hip replacement, and thought if I was able to use the hip bone as a bone slide... Maybe try thinking about something that's happened in your life...
Now I think I am going to stick with Keni Lee Burgess, but I got to admit
"Curly Liver" McGee would make a great Irish Bagpipe player name!

This reminds me of how to find your striper name.

Take the name of your first pet and the name of the first street you lived on.

I would be CoCo Van Houton.

My color is a little off, but not a bad name. LOL
That's either highly creative or grossly morbid. I think creative.

Hehehe yeah but the cematery thing is soooooo 1930's (lol)

My name was actualy my profile name at the Dutch Bluesforum wich hosted a Jamsession for it's members and when i went on stage they announced me as Bluesdog . It stuck with me ever since, it's no cool graveyard story but it work's for me!

Damn! That would be the coolest boneslide ever! Sure it's a bit freaky but let's face it, you could get the most expensive slide in the world speacialy handcrafted for you out of solid gold and decorated with diamonds but this would still be way cooler.

"Cool slide, where did you get it?" ........ "It came out of my hip".

Do us all a favor once you have this thing, fotograph the first person's face when you tell them, i bet that would be a site too see hehehehe.
