As a travelling/ traveling musician a great source of amusement for me when I arrive at a new venue for a gig is seeing the many creative ways my name has been misspelt/ misspelled. Admittedly it has many silent letters so it's easy to get wrong although I think I've always spelt/ spelled it correctly.

When this started happening I was initially quite angry that some lazy ass/ arse had not taken the time to analyse/ analyze the email I had sent them. I thought maybe they should have a licence/ license or something to do this job properly.

In their defence/defense however I realized/ realised that it's actually no big deal and certainly no reason to get upset or send them to jail/ gaol or anything. Anyone/ any-one could make the same mistake. Who am I to criticise/ criticize? I don't exactly have a brain the size of an encyclopaedia/ encyclopedia.

So when this started to become a regular occurrence/ occurence I decided to take photos/ fotos of the event. I started to see the humour/ humor in the whole thing. I now have a nice little collection I have organized/ organised and catalogued/cataloged for you all to see. Here are some of my favourites/ favorites:

Kim Weinwright, Kim Wainwrite, Kim Waignright, Kim Waineright, Kim Wainewright, Kim Waineswright, Kym Wainwright.

That is a pretty funny storie / story! :) How often do they get it rong / wrong?

All the time/ tyme! Maybe it's the Internet age. People don't seem to know how to spell anymore (I'm old/ olde!)

Hahahaha, maybe... Also the younger generation are having less attention span, and do their tasks with less passion (I think at least). Even copy/paste is to much work I suppose :)

your name is changing every night. congrats bro....the guy with so many names! that's you...cheers

Yeah that's me! It's always good to re-invent/ reinvent yourself every now and then!
