Ah...the evolution of a nickname. What a fun topic! There's a story behind every one of them. Today's blog post is about the evolution of one. Now it doesn't happen often. While some nicknames stick immediately and never change, others take years to stick with "get & forget" names occurring along the journey. Very few actually are so rich in history that the original nick name remains while it takes on a whole new persona during their Kru-ventures.
Rather than spoil the story associated with today's evolutionary nickname... I'll provide a few clues here and leave the story tellin' fer another time... preferably with a pint glass or shot of Pitsch in hand!
