What’s with the names?
Woody: Named before the movie or the character. He got the name after the “rock” guitar went back to the store. What would Woody say about wood?
♪♪ Trees dream of becoming me. Can’t blame them.
Franklin: Named for the original owner. Frank was a wonderful person who passed his love of music on to his son, Andy. He would be proud to know that his blues guitar found a good home, and that it will be cherished almost as much as his memory.
Bob and Doug: Bob is the little bass uke that lives on the couch, and Doug is the big Canadian Seagull that fills the whole neighborhood with sound. Naming them after Bob & Doug McKenzie just made sense. One small and friendly, one loud and proudly Canadian. The joke stuck, and now the names feel like they were theirs from the start.
Felix: Came to the family by chance. He was the last to join after Andy had a lucky day. He was adopted on a whim, thanks to money Andy hadn’t counted on, and a desire to come home with something to show for it. Felix is a Latin name meaning “happy, fortunate, lucky, or fruitful,” which fits him perfectly.
