RE: [Harp-L] What do you want to be called?

["Bradford Trainham" <bradford.trainham@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Anything but Bradley!!
Every band I've ever been in had some member who derived "Bradley" from Brad
and left out Bradford. 
I think if people ever started qualifying the way I play,(emotional, funky,
Platonic, subversive, lanky, toxic, lubricious, pentagonal...)  I'd begin
disputing it all internally, so Brad is good.  Bradford even better.
Bertha, the flying nympho is definitely out!!   

Based on what I've said so far, it seems the only thing you could say that
wouldn't bug me is
"Bradford... Is a very non-descript harp player!!!"
