I've been meaning to make this thread for months, and it's finally here. I don't know if it's already been created prior to my entering the community.
My username comes from when I tried to make a Twitter account... it was @CelticsConcourse and when I joined this site, I said "might as well use it again" and I took out the "s".
And you?
Don't you live in Waterville? I assumed that's where the "concourse" part came from. I had a store on main street many years ago, directly across from The Concourse.
That's where my store was ... it was a music store called "Greg's Music Center", (I was 22).
As for my user name, it's my music moniker, and comes from a mispelling of a jazz-fusion band I used to see at a little club in Portland, ME, called "Tiger's Baku" ... it featured a Japanese trumpet player named Tiger Okoshi, (who now teaches at Berklee), who I became friends with and subbed with from time-to-time. If you like jazz, check out his albums sometime ... great stuff.
Anyway, he was a very big influence on my musical career, so I used a moniker giving honor to him and that band, (who also had musicians like Mike Stern, Baron Brown, Dean Brown, Bill Frissell, Tim Landers, Gerry Etkins, etc. in it). I also ended up studying improv with a friend of Tiger's named Mike Metheny, (horn player), whose little brother is quite well-known, (Pat). I am still in touch with mike and Tiger from time-to-time.
Long story, but you asked!
