Topic: Chordie site name....

I ran the search aspect first and came up with nothing. So I thought I'd ask. What was you're motivation to come up with your screen name?

I came up with mine because I like to fish and Jerry is my first name. I know some of you probably thought I played the bass guitar but alas, no, I can barely play the guitar I have, sorry. LOL. You don't have to answer, it's just a way to get to know others.

If there were no guitars, everyone would have to sing a capella.

Re: Chordie site name....

Mine is last name, first initial.  Not quite as original as Roger, but hey....  And I didn't think Peter Tilapia sounded very good.

I have finally found happiness in my life.  Guitars, singing, beer and camping.  And they all intertwine wonderfully.

Re: Chordie site name....

Been playing guitar since the 60's ( I didn't say how well). Learned the tuba in high school. Quit tuba and switched to trumpet/trombone after college to play in a jazz/rock band. Dental problems scotched the trumpet but implants made it possible to play tuba just fine.
Some snobs on my tuba forum insisted on being called tubaists instead of tubists."Who cares" said I. Since tubas produce a bassy fartlike sound that I just love, I wanted people to call us fart hornists but they would have none of that. I since have referred to tuba players as tuba tooters ( to avoid the snobby term "tubaists" that I so despise). My old King Eb tuba was built in 1940 - hence, tubatooter 1940.

Re: Chordie site name....

Bushy was the name I was known by during my time in Viet Nam in the late sixties and early seventies. I am still known by this handle most places I go. (even my wife calls me Bushy) The 243 is a calibre of rifle I been known to be proficient at using in days gone by.

All the best

Re: Chordie site name....

There is a thread somewhere with this same vibe, but there's a lot of new people since then!  wink  I am first and foremost a mom to my kids, been fighting regular employment for the past 15 years in an attempt to stay home with them.  Although, in the end it still doesn't matter because working is FOR them.  They are number one!  I wanted MY kids mom, but that was taken on some other forum I was on, so I am ME kids mom all over the place.
