Since day one people have been asking me what my dove's name is.
Every time I contacted the vet, they would ask, "The name?" I
wasn't sure whether they meant my name or the bird's name, but
came to understand they were asking for the bird's name. Well,
that's quite simple, he's a wild bird and he doesn't have a human
designated name. And since my only hope was that they would repair his wing
and he would return to the wild, I had made no plans to name
him. Once I brought him home to stay, however, I slowly began
searching for something to call him other than "Little
Bird" or "Little Buddie". I wanted something with at least a
little humor in it, but was"Walker" for a bird that can't
fly demonstrating a poor sense of humor? One day I was crossing the bridge at
Fashion Island when I noticed that one of the peddlers was selling an umbrella
with "Peanuts and Woodstock" on it. It had been decades since I had seen or
heard anything of the name of the bird in the Peanuts cartoon. "Woodstock" was perfect!
A name with both a sense of humor and a classic background that represented
exactly what he was.... a little bird. I chuckled to myself as I realized that
while I continue to work on my music a lot of people would think
I that I named him after the famous rock concert. |
