The story behind your avatar

administrator · 10-31-2006, 07:04 PM

There are a bunch of interesting avatars being displayed on this site.

If you have an avatar post here. And if you care to share. What is the story behind it?

I was playing in a church and the organist sent me a picture so I posted it.

I am playing my Prana One C trumpet

The avatar I use the most is of my beautiful wife Karen and me dancing at one of the bone players in our band's wedding.

Our band played and we danced on the breaks.

I always kid her that when we dance I look right into her smile!

She is a bit taller than I and with heels...oh well.

That's me in my Halloween costume...I like that costume, and I like that picture. Plus, you can still kinda see my dyed hair too. lol.

Yeah, nothing really special about it.

This might take some time - another great excuse to bring out a very long story with much to be explained

Will be back when I have enough time to write a decent version.

We were in a youth band, played at all the Elks, Moose lodges, talent shows etc. This particular outfit my mom made for my brother and I to do Alexanders rag time band. We actually took 2nd in a statewide talent show! My brother played sax and had a matching outfit.The best memories I have of those outings were the pot luck dinners at the Optimists club! Great fun

Well, I picked my because I don't have a picture of myself playing and Maurice is a great player. But, the main reason I chose this picture is because Ed Carroll has the one I wanted to use! :)

Got to love it!

Well, I changed a few times. (Not as many as some, though).

This most recent I found on the ITG site of me looking at some Eclipse flugels.

*After some additional thinking about this, I guess some more 'splainin is due. For a long time, I was using some verison of Gandalf. I guess a few of you came to know me as Glenndalf. Hah... I've been wanting to put a photo of myself. I found this to be a good match.

Mine is my cat, Leo. The first lap cat I've had in a long time.

The picture of MY Eclipse LR scratch gold was lost when the forum changed, so this is a "generic" Eclipse LR scratch gold pic from their web site.
