This is mainly for @tiger roach and all other legit deadheads but also @Gary Blanchard and other old hippies or anyone else that is sincere. I don’t mind Dead jokes or hate but this is an honest request for help in naming this thing.
We need a name for our GD acoustic duo of upright bass and acoustic guitar and it’s been difficult to think of something GD adjacent that hadn’t already been done or is just too corny. We need a name that’s simple but gets the idea across to the average person as to what the hell we do.
Our vibe is mellow, lots of Garcia/Hunter tunes w emphasis on melody and lyrics, and of course we are both old as dirt.

Tweeter and the Monkey Man. Oh wait--wrong band. Me & My Uncle would kill with those in the know but would be too confusing for the everyday listener. I'd think there's a lot of low hanging fruit if you going to stay local--Dead Reckoning, the Ripple Band, Alabamian (or wherever you are) Beauty, etc. Or any of the idioms that use "dead"--Dead Ringers, Dead to Rights, Dead on Arrival, I'll come post more if they come to me.
 
Ripple or any of the lines from that tune.

harp unstrung
Gold of sunshine
no pebble tossed
Better left unsung
Still water
Between dawn and dark
 
I saw a phrase the other day that set off my band nameometer - “Functional Mushrooms.”

However that is not very Dead-related. Not directly, anyway.
