Best of luck with it, **Doo Wah Diddy** - band names are hard. How about something that captures the mood of “adult contemporary”? A band called Augustana - something like that? Sunday Morning The Dukes of Good Vibes The Forest Walk Naming Clouds Stuff like that? ---

A British FB friend (and former doper) received Halloween candy (candy corn, circus peanuts and necco wafers) in the mail and announced she had received her package of American wrongness candy. I told her American Wrongness Candy was going to be the title of my next romance but you can use it for your band. ---

My coworker just suggested “Free Beer” for your band name. He says if the club puts that up on their marquee, you’ll get a big crowd. :rolleyes: ---
