Doppelgangers

I’ve gone through most of my life thinking my name is fairly weird—not my first name, my surname, der—and that the chances of anyone else having it are slim.

That was until I found out that one half of legendary soul duo Sam and Dave was also named David Prater (he died in 1998) and that there’s another one, a producer for the band Dream Theater.

Now we can add a couple more to the list: the extremely photogenic real estate agent David Prater of www.davidprater.com and the newly-elected DA of Oklahoma County.

Seems a lot of fans (or enemies) of said DA have been visiting this site in recent weeks, presumably thinking I’m him.

Well, I’m not.

I’m the David Prater.

Best of luck to all of us, anyway.

I’m sure there’s millions more …
