What’s in a name, anyway?

So, how did I get to this name for my blog anyway? I love music. I love to listen to it. I love to play it (on guitar, tho not lately). And I love to sing, when most people aren’t around. So I began thinking of lines from songs that might appeal.

My very first thought was that “If You Could Read My Mind” would be an excellent choice. As in, if you could read my mind, I wouldn’t need to write this. But, alas, it wasn’t available.

Being a Joe Walsh fan, brought some other choices. But LifesBeenGood was taken and I missed by days being able to buy either LifesBeenGoodToMe or LifesBeenGoodToMeSoFar!

WitchyWoman was another choice, since I was actually called that years ago. (never was sure what they meant.

One I really liked but rejected solely for its length: ItsHardToLeaveWhenYouCantFindTheDoor! Even I would have quickly tired of typing that!

In the end though, it came down to two: WhatALongStrangeTrip and IfICouldReadMyMind. And IfICouldReadMyMind won just because it was quirky enough that it suited me. So there you go. And hopefully, my future posts will be more interesting!
