Name Your Blues Contest!

About four years ago a man named Porkchop moved to town. We didn't think anything of his name other than he didn't look like a porkchop. When pressed he would say, "that is just what they call me."

A couple months later, hubby comes home from a long day at work and proclaims he wants to be called Cornbread. Says he was inspired at work while telling his crew about Porkchop. Not to be out done I decided I liked the name Apple Sauce 'cos it sweetens the meal.

When the three of us meet on the street, we become the Supper Plate Blues Band! :D

Time for the name your blues contest! Put on your thinking caps and develop a blues name. One you would be proud of, one that says a little sumpen 'bout you. You may use a blues name generator. Once you've decided on the essence of your personal blues write a post and enter on Mister Linky. The drawing will be this Rainy Monday the 21st of July!

One winner will receive an autographed copy of Finn (newly released in pb) by Jon Clinch!

Note: The folk art is by Allen & Mary Dee and titled Our Lady of the Blue Plate Special!

I love it Paul! Are you going to post about it and enter the contest? You might be the lucky winner of a brand-spankin' new Finn by Jon Clinch! :D

Hi Maggie,
That is so funny! There is a guy a couple of houses down that goes by Cornbread and has for years. He is even listed as Cornbread (Lastname) in the phone book!

I've posted mine on the Southern Reading portion of my book blog. It is: Polk Salat Nana.

What fun! I feel so "white sliced bread" right now because I can't even comprehend what my blues name would be. May have to resort to the blues name generator. Stay tuned!

maggie moran said...

I don't get the essence of Violette from that name. sounds like you used the generator! :)

Susie said...

Maggie, yesterday after finishing pre-registration(and with time to kill) I read your article to some co-workers. We used the blues name generator! I'm "Blind Blueberry Washington", Sam is "Deaf Peaches Nixon", Ken is, oh I left the list on my desk. To be continued when I return in August!

Medbie said...

maggie moran said...

Too, funny Susie! Now write it up for a chance to win Larry Brown's book! Hubby would be Tone-deaf Cornbread Reagan! Bah!!!

Thanks Medbie! I'm heading to read your new blues name! :)
