It is my first name because of a banker relative in WVa named Bailey King that started the tradition. (Please don't shoot Hydro Shok, all my relatives are from WVa).
As a youth, Bailey was an unusual moniker, and in midlife, WRKP Cincinnatti added a definately, and very pretty, feminine aspect. Every where I went the name Bill Bailey seemed to follow, and I was known by that handle in Poway, CA for many years as a pool playing reprobate. My uncle Bailey, who had no children and whose wife, Leta, was a part of an Hispanic family that settled in Ohio and hid their heritage, my uncle sold me a beautiful 1937 Ford sedan that my brother and I proceeded to destroy for $25, I regret destroying that car as much as the Gibson SJ that I bought from my fiddle playing brother that I broke in a fit of feeling that my wife didn't appreciate my music and gave away to a hippie techer in Poway who played folk and restored it and it sounded good when he played it.
Bailey was my name when I took up mandolin to atone for destroying a good guitar but it didn't do any good, when I go in to Burger King and have to give some young waitress my name for the order, I still say "Bill" cause I'm tired of the question "UH, how do you spell that?"
You spell it Bailey |

Nobody else recognizes it... whenever I play it they always say, "NO! That's NOT z chord!". |

"...Current Laws about disclosure made me use this one... oh, wait, was I supposed to say that?"....
the standard question is: Are you now, or have you ever been, associated with any law-enforcement agency or any of it's governing bodies?
or something like that.
screenname is self-explanatory.
had 2 others: ... when first joined was... 71Balladeer... then was cosmicunixycler till the deacon 12string cheese incident..
kind of a one-face kinda guy. Like it better this way.
God Bless,
Glenn |

Location: Hagaman, NY | My name is one I carried over from the Hamer Fan Club forum. I'm pretty much a Kaman only owner in that I own Hamer, Ovation, and Takamine guitars. One of my favorite electric guitars is one I bought new over a decade ago with a funky hologram finish dubbed 'holoskull' by Hamer. I figured it was a funny play on words to make my board name at this forum and at the HFC forum hollowskull instead (which should be obvious) :) |

Location: North Carolina | I am from, and live in, North Carolina. I am 6ft tall, and hover right around the 300 lb. mark most of the time. (A little more as winter approaches, as I seem to have an internal instinct to fatten up a little at that time of year.)I am furry, cuddly, and love to give hugs. I like honey and am a sucker for peanut butter and maple syrup. I usually try to shy away from trouble, just don't back me into a corner, or your only hope may be to ball up into a ball and play dead. :D |

Location: Caribou, ME | I have 2 daughters, Kim and Sarah. Back about 10 years ago I had vanity plates done up as "K&S DAD". I signed up for email in '99, remember snap.com? I think it was owned by NBC.... seems like a century ago, and they're long gone. Well for whatever reason I wasn't able to get k&sdad as an email i.d., so I used ksdaddy. That ended up being my trademark i.d. for everything, including ebay and my website www.ksdaddy.com. The old '82 Ford pickup still has the K&S DAD plate, and the Protege has the KSDADDY plate.
So now my girls are 13 and 14, right at the age where they should be mortified by such a reference, but they've never said anything.
Not to my face anyway. |

If something would break around here, they would say, "help me Ernie-Wan, you're our only hope.."
And that was that.... |
