subject: "Anderson Counsel"

Referring to: a Pink Floyd cover band listed under "Pink Floyd trivia", but having no info listed.

This is what I know:

I first heard of Anderson Counsel in 1991, while tuned into a radio station that was broadcasting an interview with David Gilmour and Nick Mason (of the Pink Floyd). Here is the relevant section:

Listener asks "How did you get your name?"

Response: (David) "I can't remember, now, over to you Nick".

Nick: "Oh it's an old and deeply, deeply dull story, of their being two blues musicians called Pink Anderson and Floyd Counsel, and, I believe it was Syd Barrett who put those two names together and said 'Let's be Pink Floyd'."

David: "And also sometime in the seventies there was a group in the states who took those two surnames, and decided to call themselves 'the Anderson Counsel', but it didn't work".

(That's not verbatim, just as I can recall it).

Anyway, sometime later I was at a restaurant in Everett, WA. and I was speaking to the cook about music, and he is telling me about his band, and how he named his band 'Anderson Counsel', so I told him about the interview. He was surprised because he never heard the interview.

Well, I went to their practice room, overlooking Puget Sound, and sat in for one session (playing, humorously, the tambourine!). They produce original music, and have been for over twenty years.

Last I heard, they were calling themselves 'Dave's Rope Swing'.

And that's all I know!
