Re: [Harp-L] blues duo names

[Tom Ball]

Considering that nothing lasts forever, if either yourself or your music partner intend to have any sort of musical career or recognition outside of (or after) your duo, it might be wise to simply use your real names, a la Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry, John Cephas & Phil Wiggins or Paul Rishell & Annie Raines.

Yeah I know that's not as much fun as a catchy name, but probably better in the long run from a recognition standpoint…

cheers,
