How about John Maus (of the Walker Brothers) and John Mayer (Indo-Jazz Fusion guy), or have you got those two sorted in your head?

dominance and transmission (Matt #2), Tuesday, 2 June 2020 23:28 (six years ago)

In case you don't know this verbal mnemonic: Stalactites cling tight to the ceiling, and stalagmites might one day reach them and form a column.

I don't actually know what either of them look like as I've never seen them in anything but I see the names mentioned and they're interchangeable.

Last year, there were late-night American talk shows hosted by a Jimmy, another Jimmy, a James, and a Geoff who uses Jim as a stage name.
