We went through this exercise late last year, and you guys managed to churn up some really good name ideas for me ... before the project in question then completely self-destructed due to unanticipated "singer drama." Sigh.

But, I'm back at it again ... and this project has real promise. It's with a buddy of mine who also works out here at Fender. Stylistically we're thinking kind of a roots rock / Americana thing (influences: Cr acker, Ryan Adams, Counting Crows, etc.) We had our first "gig" last Friday at the Fender Band Jam in Scottsdale - and note that I place the word gig in quotes there, as we navigated our way through a really quick set of entirely unrelated material (namely, some Red Hot Chili Peppers covers). Not bad for just two practices before the event! :-)

My father was a huge aviation buff (think vintage small, single-seat and two-seat aircraft and the whole "airport scene") -- and in tribute to him, we're thinking of gravitating toward something aviation-related for a band name. Throwing it to the group here to see if anyone has any undoubtedly brilliant ideas to offer. :-)

There have been bands called:
UB40
U2
54-40

How about P51?

Or some spelling variation on that?
