Blind Lemon Jefferson, Big Bill Broonzy, Lightning Hopkins, Son House, Mississippi John Hurt, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Blind Willie McTell … you may be eating their dust when you try to play the blues, but you don’t have to suffer the added indignity of having a name that nobody will remember after the open mike is over. Now you can surf right on over to the “Blues Name Calculator” at http://www.outliermusic.com/jokes_bluesname.htm and get your own down and dirty, hard-ramblin’ blues name. Goodbye William Ignatius Dunderhead, hello Screamin’ Lips Dupree.
