The Burlingames

My bass has been named through a happy accident. I had previously been considering the name Rose, but I just didn’t love it. I was talking to Megan the other day about possibly using Leo and she asked what had become of the name I was previously considering: Rosie. Either she heard me wrong before or just didn’t remember. Either way, the name just seemed to fit. So there you have it; I shall call her Rosie, and she will be mine, and she will be my Rosie.

I came across this image when I was searching for pictures of lions on Google. I think this is hilarious, but I still feel a little bad for this cat. Then I forget and laugh some more because it looks so ridiculous and angry.

I was cruising the internet for naming ideas (trying to find nicknames for old fighter planes and cars) when I came across an article about naming cars. The author mentioned someone who had named their old Ford pickup Henry. It made my think about the maker and namesake of my p-bass: Leo Fender. I think Leo might be a good name for it.
