Oh! I Always Get Those Two Mixed Up!

I recently did a Madeline Kahn/Bernadette Peters mixup as well, although I don't think I'd confuse Carol Kane for either.

A friend who is an experimental poet compiled a book titled Supergroup that compiles names of session players on LPs of the 1970s, it is 400 pages long and actually rather fun to spend time reading through. The Little River Band post reminded me of it. https://www.gauss-pdf.com/post/42592642431/gpdf064gpdfe001-andy-sterling-supergroup

Occasionally, and embarrassingly (being a jazz dude), Dave Holland and Charlie Haden. I know the difference, but I sometimes catch myself thinking Dave Holland is the guy who did Liberation Music Orchestra, or that Charlie Haden was in Circle.

this sort of mixup really has the potential for hilarity to ensue

actually I guess not that much -- I mistakenly assumed omni trio was some kind of classical or modern music trio and not a dj

fwiw I often mix up metal band Om with jam band Om Trio

Will Rigby/Will Birch/Martin Birch/Martin Rushent/Martin Hannett

omni trio, real DJ no trio

and now the DNC has booked them back to back, when neither of them has any reason to speak at all. This will not help my problem

"this afternoon" rather than "always" but a shameful, if somewhat understandable, mix-up nonetheless

This one -- and I even lived in Jersey while Christine Whitman was governor. But when I hear Meg Whitman at first I always think they're talking about her.

Is Whitman a popular name in Jersey?

Bill Withers
Lou Rawls

Like I know the difference between the two, but somehow they sometimes gets mixed up in my head when trying to remember things they did.
