Some fans asked on the Robben Ford and the Blue Line music folder on American On Line, how the band got its name here is the funny story as told by Dal Booth and Tom Bretchlein


After around 3 years of Tom and Roscoe not able to agree on a name,they decided that Blue Train was the one(this was under the pressure of a new CD about to come out). In doing a name search they found that someone else had a copy right on Blue train, so in their desperation they noticed no one had used The Blue line. So with their inability to agree on anything non musical, Tom and Roscoe settled on Blue Line. I hope we can get Tom to give us his side. I only watched from the sidelines. I think someone should ask him about the SPUITS?

Dal Booth ( RF & BL Manager)



Plaz (Tom Bretchlein online persona) here. The spuits is a name Robben, Roscoe, & myself came up with. We were in a restaurant in Copenhagen I think the year was 1991. We were trying to come up with a group name that we could agree on. Roscoe came up with the name "Spell" or "The Spell". I came up with the name "The Suits". Well Roscoe and I could'nt agree with either name. In Roscoe's frustration he just said "Oh hell, why don't we call the band The Spuits"(spell+suits=Spuits' pronounced "spoots). Well the three of us just laughed our a$$e$ off. We started making album titles all afternoon. Titles like: "Spuitty Road", "Magical Mystery Spuit","Let it Spuit","Meet the Spuits", "Rubber Spuit", you get the picture. So that's where the name came from. Anyway ,I hope that solves the mystery. Talk to you
soon! THE PLAZ!
