In case you're really curious as to what the h*ll a Lydian is...it's a musical mode (like a scale). And Belrose was my DH's paternal grandmother's mn. Your comments about Ebenezer Vaughan had me ROFL. It sounds EXACTLY like what my DH would say! :o) Wait...I think he DID say that when I mentioned Eben / Ebenezer to him. As an aside, my youngest bro was a surprise & my dad wanted to name him Ebenezer or Ichabod. My mom said, "NO. His name's Ryan."
