The musicians I play with come up with some really creative nicknames. For instance, I’ve earned the moniker “No-Talent A**wipe” from one saxophonist. Another guy, a pianist, likes to call me “Are You Deaf or Something?” And this drummer likes to call me “Lay Back!”

I don’t know where they come up with these!

"Ella" and "F. Scott" seem to be the perennial favorites so far. I'm sure "Old" won't be far behind...

Mr. Romeo

but you got to say it like you are describing someone that a bunch of 11-12 year old girls would have a huge crush on. My band director brought out most of his grade 7 and 8 band to our winter concert last year and now they are all "in love with me." Since I'm an adult (haha ya right) he makes them call me Mr. Romeo instead of by my first name. I get ribbed about it alot at rehersal but I dish it out oo so I can't complain.

Yeah, I was funnin'. Even I'm not that pathetic.


My real last name is the un-pronounceable "Gudbaur." Folks have been calling me Goodbar for as long as I can remember, so I don't mind if I'm introduced as such on the bandstand. Of course, that leads to the inevitable "Are you Looking for Mr. Goodbar?" quips, which I've heard as often as the "you should have played the flute" joke.

Variations include "Goody," which brings troubling associations with a poster on another forum, and the somewhat less delicate "Goo-bag."

I can't believe that guy made a whole comedic career out of one joke!
