AfricaBrass Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 I've had the "Rooster_Ties" handle for close to 5 years now, and it seems kinda silly to change it now, after all these years. Like Jeff said, then nobody would know who I was!! Same here! (except that I'm not Rooster Ties) Nobody knew who I was... so I'm back to my old handle. No mo' name changes. I hardly had a chance to get used to your real name! I see that you have a new avatar. That's you with the beard? No... it's from an album cover by a band called Dieselhed. I just love that picture. I'm thinking of doing a whole series of Cat Shatner in the seventies.

paul secor Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 Paul Secor... Secor... Seeee... corrr..... HOLY CRAP! Are you THE Paul Secor! I never realized! Sheesh! Using his real name. Egotistical bastard! The one and only.
AfricaBrass Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) Jeff. I am struggling to keep abreast with the changes in your pictures Che. No more changes in name; only avatars. I promise! I'll always try to have Cat Shatner in my avatars. He's my pal. Edited March 29, 2005 by AfricaBrass

Yeah, AfricaBrass is back in the house!!!! I was half-thinking of starting a poll a few days ago, and lobbying people to vote to bring back your old handle, Jeff. Don't know what tipped the scales, but it's good to have you back to the one and only AfricaBrass!!!!
Robert J Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) When I registered on the old BN Board I used my name rather than a pseudonym....but I thought that there might be people who would think - who's this guy to use his name when nobody knows him? I felt this same way when I joined the BNBB in 2000. Felt responsible for anything I might say that would make me look like a boob. Took awhile to graduate from lurker status. In fact I think I got shut down on one of my first posts for some factual error (those BN-ers were tough ). Kind of odd actually, since I now have things published by me on the web with my real name - many of them music related. Perhaps time to add the other 5 letters of the alphabet to my name here. (Though I guess it can be inferred if you hover over my avatar signature). Getting back to the original post. I can vouch for Ted. He brings a wealth of information to this board with his broadcasting, recording and publishing experience. Check his (brief but meaty) webpage on his profile. Edited March 29, 2005 by Robert J

My being here with a different name then AfricaBrass is like "Don't Fear the Reaper" WITHOUT the cowbell.
Free For All Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 (edited) I've been debating whether or not to switch to my real name, but I think there would be too many Paul M, John S, Jeff B etc. and to me that would be both confusing and boring. I use my first name on my signature line, and I think that's good enough; besides, anyone who knows me around here knows my full name. I guess I'll just have to live with being "forgettable" to Mike Fitzgerald and "sans cojones" to others........ Edited March 29, 2005 by Free For All

wesbed Posted March 29, 2005 Report Posted March 29, 2005 AfricaBrass is what I prefer. Who the feck is Jeff B? He has no history around here.
AfricaBrass Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Thanks guys! Jeff B is a just a memory now...
AfricaBrass Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 How about Jeff B AfricaBrass? That's a good idea, but I'll just stick with AfricaBrass. I'm glad to be back to AB.
jazzbo Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 Free For All, hey now you don't have to put your real name out there (Paul McCartney, right?) to get some respect around here! Jeff B, Africa Brass: by whatever name, I'm so thankful you're around!
Jazz Kat Posted March 30, 2005 Report Posted March 30, 2005 How about Jeff B AfricaBrass? That's a good idea, but I'll just stick with AfricaBrass. I'm glad to be back to AB. Jeff B And The African Brass.
