The origin of the name: Vette

Buco

Does anyone know the meaning of the title for this tune?
A girl's name?
It's one of the suggested names for our new band.

wim

Yes, a girl's name. Like Yvette - French feminine version of Yves.

People will think you are Corvette lovers

Buco

Thanks Wim, that was our guess too.

I know Jay, you're right. The idea was to make a connection to Django with something not too overused.
I think this would connect us more with Route 66 then Rue Vingt-six.

How about "Django-boogie," "The DC Hot 5," "J'Attane," or "DC Ambiance"?

Buco

I like DC Ambiance, especially because my initials are DC.
Since Hot Club of DC is taken, I suggested DC and the Club of Hot, it drew a semi smile.
The closest one to get accepted is Cupajeaux, Suzanne's (clarinet) daughter nicknamed the French press pot she picked up at the garage sale as such.
Then there's my nickname turned Louisiana French: Buceaux Swing.
But neither was instant winner.

Hey @Buco I like the name Vette, perhaps using 'Vette has a cool sound.

You never know, you might convert some rocker/ventures fans to the WAY

Buco

Yeah, Trio Vette was suggested. It does have a nice flow to it.

@Andrew Ulle I think J'attane is a very clever wordplay off Gitane...no? Nice!

Buco

Yes, you got a talent @Andrew Ulle , you got us close to stop being "the nameless 3" with DC Ambiance.

Buco

Well @Andrew Ulle you did it!
We all liked DC Ambiance and we're running with it.
Thank you!
If/when you're in DC area get in touch and there will a bottle of your favorite libation waiting for you.
Buco, Bill and Suzanne, DC Ambiance.
