Tony,

I think the conspiracy just went deeper. Did you see the initials on that last post? “DS”……

Do you know any “DS” that can type for itself? I’m just sayin’… If they could – Nintendo would really be onto something.

Tony, I’m the music director at Buckhead Church. Mark is, of course, one of our go-to worship leaders. But a few years ago, in his teens and early twenties, I was his manager. I came up with the nickname Moxie for him because it nailed his personality and sounded more appealing in the marketplace. His name is Mark Davis Gibson. We marketed him, and his whole band in fact, as Moxie Davis. The nickname Moxie stuck. There ya go, dude.

Tony,

what’s really crazy is that my birth name is actually Moxie. I just go by Mark.

Well, yes I am following this at home which happens to be my office too. My poor desk must thank you. It has been in need of a real cleaning for a couple of days now. I was laughing so hard I banged the desk and papers went flying. Now my floor? Well, that’s a different story.

And no, my name is not short for any thing. I was named after a church and it’s bus – The Camey Special. That area is now a town in Texas. Look it up and see for yourself – Camey, Tx.

Thanks for the laugh, man. You’re a real giver. At least you got THAT going for ya…… ;)

Tony not a rockstar name?? I’s sorry but are you not familiar with the 80′s R&B band “Tony, Toni, Tone”? Or the famous Tony Bennett? HUGE rocker…or huge light rocker. Don’t sell yourself short. Until that time comes, consider yourself a Blogstar.

I can dispel some of the myth behind Moxie. Mark Gibson is an Atlanta area native and in high school was part of a band called Sundry. Those guys rocked. They had a great local following. The band members decided to go their separate ways about two years after high school, some went to college, one went to Nashville and Mark’s alter ego was formed, Moxie, and became the front for his new band. Mark is a great guy with an amazing heart. He’s a talented song writer and performer. Just a little dish to help you learn about the real Mark.

Not everyone can be special and have different names that are recognized ;)

It’s great having a different name…until I meet someone from long ago and they say…hey, I used to know a Rindy…oh that always worries me ;)

Ah, c’mon, Tony – you can’t put Mark & Tony in the same boat … MARK is a book of the BIBLE! But alas, I think “Tony” is even a cooler name than FRED. Who names their kid “Fred” anymore? Go figure. :-)
