Today for Musical Monday, this is going to be a Name Game post. First I'm going to fill you all in on who was the real life person that some famous Music Acts took their name from....
Uriah Heap...
What a great group from the 70's.."Stealin".."Easy Livin"..."Gypsy".
Uriah Heap was one of the first villains of "David Copperfield" (1850)
He first appeared in the novel at age 15...."but looking much older"!!
He worked as a clerk for Mr. Wickfield, and professes humility...
But he is actually a hypocrite and a scheamer, and over the course
of the novel plots Wickfields downfall.
Englebert Humperdinck...
Another dinosaur from the 60's and 70's, he is now a huge
gray hair act in Vegas and Branson...
The original Humperdinck was a German Opera Composer( 1854-1921)
He is mostly well known for writing the Fairy-Tale Opera "Hansel und Gretal"!
Jethro Tull...
Awesome group from the 70's Classic Aqualung. They are still going strong!!
Jethro Tull was born in 1672 in England. He was one of the 1st proponets of
taking the scientific and empiracal approach to agriculture..
In 1701, he invented 'The Seed Drill' , up until then seeds were merely cast
to the wind, and allowed to germinate come what may...He changed all that!!
Enough of that crap for now...How about a Name Game Quiz?...No Googling!!!
Match the stage name with their real names.....
1. The Big Bopper.........A. Sylvester Stewart
2. Cat Steven.................B. Waldon Cassotto
3. Elton John.................C. Jiles Perry Richardson
4. Ringo Starr...............D. Arnold George Dorsey
5. Chubby Checker......E. Steven Georgiou
6. Dean Martin.............F. Rudy Martinez
7. Bobby Darrin............G. Reginald Dwight

I so wanted to elaborate on them!
LMAO! El Bloggo. PEGGED!
I'll pass on the quiz.
Hope your's is a good one on this Monday of Madness.
Oh BTW. Jethro Tull, great group. I got to see them in concert once, when they did War Child, it was one of the coolest performances in memory.
Ian Anderson was singing the song and the whole while they had flashpots going off around the stage and he was dodging around the stage. At the very end, the last one goes off right where he is and the lights go off. Wow.
Ok Mr, this post is just a bunch of strange names, locations and English slang that I didn´t know before. And know I should play anyway, because u always joing my games...and I know I should know Elton John, but I can´t remember. Have to run now, see u later! :-)
I'm hungry. Why do I equate you with food?
I have no idea...except that Elton is Reggie.
What no mention of food at all in your post?
Hope you had a good weekend, G~man.
Hey G-Man! I won't be guessing but I can tell you that I like me some Jethro Tull!
Hope you had a good Father's Day!
LOL @ your kids name for you!
