Why Sweetnote?

So, some people have been wanting to know where the name “Sweetnote” comes from. Is this something I just picked out of a hat or what? Well yes and no. I have sung semi-pro for too many years to tell you or you’ll think I’m too old to do this. When I used to sing back in the OLD DAYS hubby put a CB radio in our car and invested in a home base unit, a great mic, a large antenna and the redneck regalia that goes with all that. This was WAY before anyone had cellphones.

Cellphones were something that you’d see in a James Bond movie or some futuristic SciFi flick. I’d talk to him from the time I left home till I reached where I was going and from the time I left till I got home. Everyone had a “Handle” (name that one would be known by in code just like an online moniker). Hubby decided to call me Sweetnote because of my singing…well…actually it was my idea, but it’s always such a sweeter story if I say he came up with it! And then we got to know a BUNCH of truck drivers on my route and they dubbed me “the Singing Beaver”…..oh yeah…I know…it was cute, kind of dirty but I loved it. Used it when we used to talk “skip”….look it up! ANYWAY….I’ve used Sweetnote as my alias for over 20 years. Yes I’m only 30…LOL! Hubby was Blue Goose or Bowhunter, my daughters were TaterChip and TaterTot.

That was another lifetime ago. And when I stopped all the traveling and singing and CBing I still loved the name. When I went online, I decided to resurrect it. Now I still sing, but only on Singsnap.com and yes you’ll find me under the name Sweetnote. And yes, I’m a ham, always have been always will be. I fronted several bands and I haven’t met a stranger in years. It’s served me well. So I remain Sweetnote…and being from Illinois I decided to use a double entendre and say SweetNotes from the Midwest. Clever huh? So now you know all about me, well all I’m willing to share for now anyway! You can also find me on Twitter with the name Sweetnote! Thanks again for stopping by! Catch ya on the flip….that’s CB talk for See ya later!
