KISS

Paul Stanley (actual birth name Stanley Bert Eisen).

There's a 'Paul' connection there.

It's tenuous at best, I know.

My band in the 70s, the other guitar player was also named Ricky. I was the only white guy in the band, so it was easy: Ricky White and Ricky Black.

 

[Bob Womack]

1978, the Bob & Bob show. That's me on the left, Bob Womack, and roommate and band-mate Bob Haymes on the right. Near-identical 1974 small-script Kalamazoo Gibson Les Paul Standards. I've still got mine.

Bob went all Strat on me.

[Mr. St. Paul]

I joined a band with my friend Bill. The other two guys were also named Bill. My first night, I wasn't sure about something regarding the setup, so I said to my friend, "Hey, Bill?" The three of them turned around and in perfect unison, asked, "WHAT?" I fell out laughing.
