If you a follower of the occasional Rifftides discussions about the music and wit of the late bassist Freddie Schreiber, you know that his inventiveness overlapped into name creation. Dean Reilly, the San Francisco bassist who is an admirer of Schreiber on all fronts, provided what appears to be an authentic list of some of the names Freddie invented. Schreiber's original names inspired imitations that can be found on many web sites. For now, we confine ourselves to a few from the, uh, Dean's list. Say them aloud.
