Beal Streets Bands Bobby Blue Bland RIIP

The Deaths in 2013 site lists under June 23rd:

Bobby Bland, 83, American blues and soul singer ("Further Up the Road", "Turn On Your Love Light"), inducted into Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (1992).

I always investigate further when a notable person dies at 83 years of age, what with the 3+3=8 cryptic design influenced by the equally allusive inner twin world, and of course this makes 3 half of 8 as much as 4.   I think mathematicians would have a hard time with that one.  Not that I have a thing against mathematics... heck, my step son just received his Doctorate in the Philosophy of Math and Science. We are however, at opposite ends of the same spectrum, and so not so easy to see how they converge.  U have to have a mind that's both mathematical and graphic... a mind that's logical butt bendable enough to be able to turn on a dime in order to even dare to try and make sense of what only appears to bee illogical  ;-)(-;

My recent post of June 21st concerns another notable person listed on the Deaths in 2013 site under June 21st, who passed away at 83, note the following excerpts:

• Bernard Hunt, 83, English professional golfer

...Bernard Hunt's inner twin influenced their conjoined deaths... it a purposeful hunt and sacrifice.  Note the etymology:

• hunt (v.) Old English huntian "chase game," related to hentan "to seize," from Proto-Germanic *huntojan (cf. Gothic hinþan "to seize, capture," Old High German hunda"booty"), from PIE *kend-

The etymology of Bernard:

• Derived from the Germanic element bern "bear" combined with hard "brave, hardy".  

Imagine my shock when I went to Bobby Bland's wiki page and noted the following photo at right... he's nott in the least bit bland!?  In fact, he's unmistakable dynamic... and brown.  And note my double shock as I recollected that the etymology of "bear" is "brown":

bear (n.) 

Old English bera "bear," from Proto-Germanic *beron, literally "the brown (one)" 

Note as well, the following excerpt from Bobby's wiki page: 

Robert Calvin "Bobby" Bland (January 27, 1930 – June 23, 2013), also known as Bobby "Blue" Bland, was an American singer of blues and soul. 

That's quite a tongue twister ... Bobby Blue Bland.

And note the following:

He was an original member of the Beale Streeters,^[1] and was sometimes referred to as the "Lion of the Blues". 

It wouldn't be easy for an interviewer to introduce him-- "I'd like to Welcome the Beale Streeters Band's Bobby Blue Bland"!!!
  
And now note the following etymology of the name Beale http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beale :

Beale
Family name
Meaning	"handsome man"; "fair, beautiful"; "son of Bel"; "bee-hill"

There's that tell tale "bee" again.  And from the etymology dictionary:

 beal (n.) "mouth of a river or valley," 1818 (in Scott), from Gaelic beul "mouth." 

ball (n.1) "round object," Old English *beal, from or corresponding to Old Norse bollr "ball," from Proto-Germanic *balluz (cf. Old High German ballo, German Ball), from PIE root *bhel- (2) "to blow, inflate, swell" (see bole). 

Interesting... the "river" aspect in the meaning of beal... considering my last few posts involving rivers flooding their banks.
