Understandable. I await the next exciting Barnablue thread: "RIP Ken Smith" (You know, the bassist from "The Electric Shoes" they had a #137 hit in 1961?) Pah! Philistines!

It seems to have attracted a smidgen of interest. :winking: (4 posts and 40 views).Btw,RichieC is certainly not a philistine. In fact,he's very knowledgeable about blues and folk music.(Napster seems to know his stuff where jazz is concerned too):thumbsup:

Not to undermime the tone or anything, but did anyone else think this was related to Sherlock Holmes in some way?

RIP all the same.

:winking: Fair enough, maybe the rest of us are philistines for not knowing who any of these people are...

And,as a former girlfriend pointed out to me, my first name comes from the Greek word philos(meaning love of).:winking:

Btw,I never suggested anyone who'd never heard of Doc Watson was a philistine and nor would I.I first heard him name checked by Bob Dylan.Before that I'd never heard of him either.

Off thread slightly.

But Phil is short for Phillip. Phillip means a lover of horses*.

:stunned:













*which in Greek times means noble.

Nope. Phil is the shortened version of Phillip. It doesn't have it's own semantic history. :nope:

Where in that link does it say that Phil has come from philos?

It doesn't.

It talks about -phile, i.e. Anglophile.

 

[Rob Noxious]

Staying off topic, but with a Phil twist ... 'Philo' was the affectionate moniker given to Phil Lynott (Mr Thin Lizzy) by his Dublin pals. He died in 1986.
