Sing Spirit Sing started as a title.

I play music in a group called "Spirit Singing Band."  I was never thrilled by "Spirit Singing Band" as a band name, so for some time I've had my antenna up for something better.

​

A few years ago I ran across a brilliant little book about rhetoric called "The Elements of Eloquence," which contained a chapter concerning "diacope," a rhetorical device wherein one repeats a word or phrase with one or two intervening words.

​

Bond. James Bond.

​

I started goofing around with "Spirit Singing Band" and diacope and pretty soon found myself with

"Sing Spirit Sing."

​

Of course, being a songwriter, I immediately snapped it up as a song title, so we're still looking for a better band name...
