Alright, so it seems my stage name has already been taken.
Sancho Panza -- the url for this website, and the "nom de guerre" I've been using for a short while now, is already in use by a variety of musical acts, from a DJ duo in London (they go by the Sancho Panza sound system), to gettoelectro and punk acts using the name on myspace.
I don't know if anybody has trademarked the name in Canada or the UK, and at the same time I'm not completely wedded to it.
So here's a question for the readers. Do I stick with it? do I change it to something else? if so what?
As many of you know, my real last name is a bit of a bitch to pronounce if you're not French and seeing as how I won't be playing to francophone audiences for some time, I don't think it is an appropriate stage name. I selected Sancho Panza after careful though because of a link to my hispanic ancestry and because of the role the character played in Cervantes' Don Quixote where he was often the voice of reason (which I have been known to be), or the voice of wit (which I long to be).
So that is my conundrum. I really am looking for help on this one.
Cheers!



Sancho Panza X could work. Maybe Sancho Panza the III or something?

Just go with Sancho Panza X - that solution always sounds cool, right?
Miss you.
