Pick truly hot Bach tune.

That's just one of the anagrams you can make from "Oliphant Chuckerbutty". Are there others anagrams, you ask?

And it's maybe the best anagram to offer up some biographical possibilities. Chuckerbutty (usually starting a sentence with a last name lends it some authority) played the organ both in the church, hence the Bach tune, and the cinema, hence the hotness of the aforementioned tune.

But let's face it. You can't have the name Oliphant Chuckerbutty and be anything other than an organist.

After learning your name at a cocktail party, imagine the following scenarios:

Scenario one: wherein Oliphant is a plumber

Q: So, Oliphant, what do you do for a living?

A: I'm a plumber.

Q: Um, I'm dangerously low on cocktail shrimp. See ya.

Scenario two: wherein Oliphant is an organist

Q: So, Oliphant, if that is your real name. What do you do for a living?

A: I'm plumber.

Q: No you're not. Aren't you the one that wrote that Paean by Oliphant Chuckerbutty?

A: Yes, it's just a little fanfare sort of ditty, just under three minutes. It starts out with a stereotypical fanfare kind of idea rising 1, 2, 3 deal accompanied by sixth, fourth and a third respectively. It has a few quirky bits, and carefully registered, could be interesting.

Q; Hm, I seem to be running low on cocktail shrimp. Can I . . .

A: I have to take issue with the rather boring and unsteady performance provided by Kalena Wheeler on this week's Pipedreams program. It just wasn't up to snuff. I mean, if you're going to play my music, you can at least play it well.

Q: Hey, do you know about the Chuckerbutty Ocarina Quartet?

A: Ha. Chuckerbutty. That's a funny name.
