In chronological order I have performed as:
Fun Gus
A player to be named later.
Dusty Montana
Davinchi Borgazoli
Goins Cummings
My sister had a professor, a certain Mr. Kraft.
Next name in the Brookline phone book was clearly
an orthodox man saddled with a name no one truely
understood when he was named.
Hymen Kremes.
I worked at a gig with a 'Velveta Pirrana'.
She was cute, cuter than 'Judy's Tiny Head'.
I also worked with 'Rash Of Stabbings' and
'Smegma and the Nunz'.
I recorded their seminal
"Hit Her With a Rake" (and made her pay for her mistake.)
A Miss Holly Holicaustic did a guest intro
no, no, not the rake, not THE RAKEEeeeeiiiiaiaaaaa!!!

| When I was a radio dj in highschool, I went by the name Tommy T- Bird. My uncle back home used to call me T-Tommy after the great T-Tommy Cutrer, who emceed the old Porter Wagoner Show. But when I play I keep it honest and go by Tommy Shown. My name parents gave me.)Thomas Edward Shown is on my birth certificate. But I prefer Tommy. It's simple and honest and people remember it more. |

I was in a store in alexandria Va. late one night and over the PA I heard; "Elaine Desmond line 22, Desmond 22. I thought that was really funny. The person I was with didn't get. I thought that was sad. For me I like a stage name with the word lonesome in it. I got to be "Lonesome Don Bob" in "Always Patsy Cline" once. Other runs of the show the director would not permit it  Don D. |

I was playing a blues tune one night, and threw in a verse about "I got jellyroll...jellyroll on my mind....jellyroll killed ma momma, drove ma pappa stone blind."
After the my guitar solo, the bandleader said, "ladies and gentlemen- on the slide guitar - Marke "JELLYROLL" Burgstahler!!"
It stuck. All my musician friends still call me that.
And I'm really not that overweight.

Somebody suggested 'Florida Mountain Boys' - that band actually exists - they're bluegrassers.
Back in the early 70's I had a band called "Statutory Grape" and I always wanted to use "Possum Ridge Rebellion" for a bluegrass band.

Band name "Full Circle"
A friend and I started in country way back in the late 50's. Later branched out to R'N'R, Lounge music and so on as we got older. While I got back into country in the late 70's, he did not. I live in Calif., he lives in Florida. Now we're going back home and play country music, We've come....Full Circle.

Nice to see this thread revived again. And over 8400 views so far. Amazing! Just think, only 62,269 more views and this thread will have been seen as often as the ZB thread!  |

Since my future steel is a Jackson Blackjack Custom, I think either "Blackjack Brett" or "Blackjack Deluxe Brett" would sound pretty cool.

One of the best put-down lines I ever heard was a guy going up to a girl at a party, and saying he was "a fun guy", to which she responded, "No, you should study your Latin; fungi is plural; there's only one of you; you're a fungus."  |
