The picture here is not me. It’s some guy in Italy who goes by the name of “Dionisio”. People were always telling me to copyright One Mouth Band, but I always thought I’d just be The Original One Mouth Band if someone else came along. It seems perhaps that time has come.
In an email exchange with Dionisio’s Crew, he made a good point about the phrase. But what do you think? Post a comment and let me know. Thanks!
Here’s the conversation we had on MySpace. I have not altered any of the non-native sounding English.

As much as I enjoy your music, I am not so happy about you using my name “One Mouth Band”. It will cause problems for me, I’m sure. Can you pick another name for your project please?
I like your music anyway. Thanks for letting me know you exist!

It’s obvious that we have here some kind of misunderstanding…….
First of all, the name is “Dionisio†instead of “One Mouth Band†nice to meet you Sam…. =)
We think that we don’t have to explain anything you should know it better than we, but as we liked a lot you work and the nice way that you introduce yourself so… anyway here it goes….
The expression “One Mouth Band†appears at Dionisio’s profile cause it’s the concept that is related to his music, (as Dionisio, cause he do music in another styles and concepts, under another names of course) and there are such concepts like “Human Beat Box†or our similar “One Man Band†that aren’t related with any artist in particular, they only represent a style or one way to do things.
So we hope you understand that we will not change a thing at Dionisio’s profile as in his music and if it causes some kind of a trouble to you we are available to help you to resolve the question as quick as possible.
We liked a lot you work really, until now we were thinking that Bobby McFerrin was unique in world …… now we know that he isn’t alone thanks a lot for that, you gain a couple of fans here …. Keep up the good work!

Loans that change lives at Kiva April 2, 2007
Posted by onemouthband in : Inspiries, Recommendations , add a commentI just found out about Kiva (through one of my favorite podcasts, Venture Voice). They handle microfinancing for 3rd world entrepreneurs, allowing folks like you and me to put as little as $25 where it can matter most. But it’s not a donation, because you get your money back (currently at 0% interest). This non-profit is my favorite kind of noble endeavor. The way I see it, I get a higher return on $25 helping someone build a future than the interest my checking account pays. Check it out.
Kivais a non-profit that allows you to make a small 0% loan to low income entrepreneurs in the developing world (microfinance). Individuals like you can help provide affordable working capital for the poor — money to buy a sewing machine, livestock, etc. — and empower them to earn their way out of poverty.
