 Years ago, I put together a band called "Merkin Blues Band", because we thought it was a funny word (If you don't know what it means, google it). When we started, we all called eachother "Merkin". As time went on, everyone else got their own nickname and this one just stuck to me. When I got on the net, it was a good handle that usually wasn't taken.It's kinda silly that I use it here now, but I've had it so long it would be weird to change it.Damian |

| Ya know, I had this belief that Merkin was a wizard or elf from Lord of the Rings.Some stones are better left unturned. |

A lot of people confuse him with Merlin the magician from Camelot. Or, I should say, confuse his name, anyway. I don't think Merlin the Magician played in any aussie bands.--------------------------------------------------------------Find more words of wisdom at [url]http://weblogs.sqlteam.com/markc[/url] |
