First of all, i apologize if this is a stupid topic, please be kind Anyway, over this recent week i got to think about names, and found that there are alot of the same name in music in general. Sure you'll have your strange and unique names, but then you have you common, or for some reason pleatiful names. Examples: Peter. In prog i can think of three big peters: Gabrial And they are all lead singers. Another common name in prog is Ian: Anderson My point to all this is, what are other common names in prog and do names have any correlation to how the person is??
(Again, please be kind to this strange and probably stupid question ------------- Dig me...But don't...Bury me I'm running still, I shall until, one day, I hope that I'll arrive Warning: Listening to jazz excessively can cause a laxative effect. |

Another Peter, and also a singer: Peter Blegvad. There seem to be a lot of guitar players named Steve H.: Steve Hackett, Steve Howe, Steve Hillage. You may laugh at this, but I used to have the knack to be able to tell a person's first name at first sight. I looked at someone and thought: "Oh yes, a typical 'Robert' face" (for example) and said "Hello, Robert!" to him and usually got the astonished question: "Have we met before?" in reply. For some inexplicable reason I lost this knack though. It was quite uncanny. -------------  BaldJean and I; I am the one in blue. |

| A local record store sectioned their music off alphabetically - but first names alphabetically(rather than surnames), so the J section was huge because of the numbers of JOHNs who have recorded. (In comparision my record catalogue has it biggest section in the Ms, then the Ss). |

That is the most absurd way to organise a record shop, EVER. |
