Re: screen names
quikstang2--
Tellin' ya, bro', with gas as high as it is these days, you may be headin' in the right direction!
now to my screen name...as you can see above, I refer to my male buddies as "brothers," or, for short, "bro's."
"bongobro" is a contraction of "bongo brother," which is glaringly obvious to anyone who's hung around this forum any length of time! I can play a drum kit, but given the choice, you'll find me slappin' the skins...amd I consider anyone who rocks the bongos, congas, etc., as a "bongo brother."
The first dude I referred to specifically as my "bongo brother" was a guy who shares my June 22nd birthday (he turns 21 the day I turn 56!) and who also digs hand drumming.
When I joined DrumChat, there was also no member with "bongo" in his or her user name...so voila! "bongobro!" That has since changed--, bongoJohn!
keep the beat goin' ... Don't keep it to yourself!
