"Whenever a dog wins a competition, she will be given a blue ribbon. This is how we got our band's name, "Blue Ribbon Dog". The name is a sort of a metaphor of being number 1 or being the best."
That was 14 years ago. The above quote is what was always being said by our, then frontman, whenever he was asked as to how we got such name. The truth is, when I was in it, I always thought that he made that one up himself, and I never bothered to check the facts of it until a few hours ago, when I came across a picture of a dog with a blue ribbon. That image immediately beamed me up to my final high school year. Reminiscin'.
"Blue Ribbon Dog" was my first ever commitment in doing something with such tremendous effort and hope. All the time and financial sacrifices that I've made in making the band in its right place and the bond that we had between the four of us are worth to be etched down on my memory lane.
We manage to keep it going for 3 years and in the end, the call that we got wasn't what we really hope for. However, apart from all the mess at the end of it, I've learned one great thing out of it. Being 'ambitious'.
A tribute to BRD.
