What is the meaning of your Sign in Name?

[Sharp On Attack]

It's a lesser known gem of a track by Steve Howe of which I am extremely fond...Released in 1988 on the Guitar Speak compilation when Steve was part of the Night of The Guitar project and when I never suspected there would ever be ABWH, Union, Talk etc...

Ask Steve Howe.

My name is Bill. I have played guitar since 1978. I play entire Yes songs on guitar. Yes - maybe even that one!

My name is Zach. I have played piano since 1967. I'm a professionally employed accompanist. I used to play Mood For A Day on the piano.

[YESOLA]

All those many years ago on a.m.y and southside, fans used the shorthand of calling themselves a Trooper, or a Generator to show when they became fans or what version of Yes they preferred (or something like that). I started with the CTTE album, and of course it is the best ever, so I’m a Khatrooper (and my profile pic is me in a studio during a session, with Martine, my D-28, all those many years ago).

Wow those were the days!

It's from a Billy Sherwood solo album

I suppose mine is rather boring and easy to identify. I am a certified public accountant. Sigh! But I am not a typical accountant. I have a personality and am fun at parties. Well, I used to be.......

[Ash Armstrong]

You obviously identify as a Mr. , Arno. :-)

The Flying Dutchman!

[Oldie on the Goldie]

I'm an oldie who lives on Australia's Gold Coast - known locally as The Goldie.

Could be much worse, couldn't it. Imagine if you were born a girl instead, and ( wait for it ) your folks named you Lilly Hammer. :-)

Jack would have been a worse name. LOL

Mom always wanted a red-haired boy to name Joseph, but after three boys and two girls, they gave up trying. I have no idea where my name came from -- I guess I should ask while my parents are still alive. I do know my oldest brother was given Dad's middle name the middle name of Patrick because he was born on the 17th of March. (My mom is 1/2 Irish.)

I don't think mine needs much explanation

[luvyesmusic]

Yes. And we know where you live.

More importantly we know when he leaves. ;-)

There was a show thread years back. The gentleman said he would be going to the show in his smaller type city. He then proceeded to provide a very detailed map of where he lived, and how close it was to the venue. I p.m.'d him and told him it was a terrible idea to put that out there, and he wisely removed it.

Quite unfortunately another common thing is to put the funeral arrangements, and where the deceased lived in the paper. You better have someone stay at the house during the funeral, because there are literally thousands of folks who would take that as an opportunity to take their time robbing the place, while everyone is out.

Everything is a nail! My sisters and I all took swimming lessons from a man who's last name was Naylor which sounds like nailer. I only hated it when my older brother's friends called me "little Hammer."

How do you feel about nails? 😉

Hammerhead is one of my nicknames based on my last name which is Hammer.

Sooner or later, everything comes back to Trout Mask Replica, the White Album, or Blonde on Blonde...
