Contrary to rumours that the nickname “Skunk” alludes to anti-social habits (his self-deprecating wit may cause some to mistake it for social reluctance), or that a band member hung it on him in a lefthanded tribute to his looks (unknown or unconfirmable), its actual origin is unknown. Baxter has been quoted as saying he has no intention of revealing just where it came from, or why.
Thanks Ellen_G! I thought you guys would find that interesting. That’s why I brought it up.
The truth is, no one really knows why his nickname is “Skunk”. Or do they? 😉

I knew that was going to be a tough one! It’s a good question and very interesting. There is a common thread between Bruce and “Skunk”. What do you think it is?

Lake Lanier, GAMerry Christmas!
Peace & Goodwill to Everyone!
What I want Santa to bring to me is a new Bruuuce jazz record!
Anyone else agree?

Tidings of comfort and joy to you! Ever since I heard about the making of the jazz record,I’ve been waiting anxiously for its release. I have a feeling we’ve only gotten just a taste of what Bruce can do with the “jazz language.”Jackie

Thanks Jackie! You just opened up a can of worms that needs some more Thoughts From A Road Scholar!
Stay tuned! But, before we can go any further, someone has got to connect the dots between “Skunk” and Bruce. It is all related!

Lake Lanier, GAHere’s my best guess, although a feeble one at that:
Just like Bruce says he can pretend people are yelling “bruuuce!” instead of “booooo!”, maybe Jeff thinks they’re yelling “skuuuunk!” instead of “you suuuuuuck!” ????? (not that Mr. Baxter sucks – I’m sure he’s a very fine musician!) ;o)
Ok guys. Let’s try to connect the dots. It is all related!
This is the biggest hint I can give you:
What do all these have in common?
Bruce, “Skunk”, Steely Dan, Bruce’s new jazz recordHappy New Year to All!
Go DAWGS!
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAHappy New Year!
And just to put my two cents’ worth in…. last summer when I had lunch with Mama Hornsby (no, go ahead, ask) she said that the next release was a bluegrass album with Ricky Skaggs.
David –
I’m doing a bit of house-keeping here and I’ve moved your “year end” idea to the year end awards:

Bruce, “Skunk”, Steely Dan, Bruce’s new jazz recordLooks like I have to hold your hand on this one. I didn’t know that it would be that difficult. Let’s take one at a time.
In a previous post, Jackie knew that Skunk use to play with Steely Dan. Have you ever read anything about what Bruce says about Steely Dan?
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAHere’s one more hint:
Where did Bruce go to college and what was his major?
David Day
Lake Lanier, GAI can’t believe nobody knows Bruce’s major in college.
Someone has got to know! ❗

Bruce majored in jazz at Miami.
How does Skunk and Steely Dan fit in all this?

Lake Lanier, GADavid!
