Wavy Gravy - origin of the name
Under the category of "I did not know that" - from the all knowing Wikipedia :
Origin of name Wavy Gravy
At the 1969 Texas International Pop Festival Romney was lying onstage, exhausted after spending hours trying to get festival-goers to put their clothes back on, when it was announced that B.B. King was going to play.
Romney began to get up; a hand appeared on his shoulder. It was B.B. King, who asked, "Are you wavy gravy?" to which Romney replied "Yes."
"It's OK; I can work around you," said B.B. King, and he and Johnny Winter proceeded to jam for hours after that.
Romney said he considered this a mystical event, and assumed Wavy Gravy as his legal name.
So what does Wavy Gravy mean?
It was in the recently published Kirk West interview that during the 90s when Kirk was working every day w/the band on tour, because of the cool hippie clothing he was wearing at the time, Dickey threw an arm around him and said "Kirk you're our Wavy Gravy!"
