Giving Names to Musical Instruments
By Chris Carlisle

What do you think about giving names to music machines?  Names
such as "Loudmouth Sadie Mae", "Madam Laura", "Pinky", "Gypsy
Queen", "Eakins Special" a.k.a. "Beale Street Special"...

I could name a lot more.  Do you think it is silly or adds to
the history of the machines?

 [ Blues guitarist B. B. King named all his guitars "Lucille".
 [ This tradition may have begun with David and his Psalms!
