I will give everyone precisely ONE, and ONLY ONE, guess as to the name signified by the nickname, "smitty".

You can do it! I believe in you!

Because your a blacksmith in a traveling renaissance fair?

mine is related to my name and a certain cats smile.

B = middle , Jam = James shortened Mor= Last name shortened. I thought it was funny to put the I in front of it at the time.
Later , my nickname at work was Morty

Whew….so I can ditch the Jamaican accent, in my head, when I read your posts.
Now it’s gonna be…something else.

I tried a series of witty, sardonic, insightful names, but all were taken, so I said screw it, I'm human123. It'll probably become my designation after the robot uprising.

 

[SG John]

The first any kind of forum on the internet that I ever joined was Everything SG in it's toddler(?) days. Or, early enough that there were not enough members to grab SG John. Mainly because my name is John and I like SGs. I had a '68 Junior and two '69 Standards at the time, along with many others. I've kept the name as I've travelled through several guitar forums since then just because I would like to keep the connections of people I seem to connect with on the different forums, and would like to not create confusion.

I've always read it as short for
"I Be More Jamming"

That's what I always thought, too. Cool to see what it actually is.

Same here

 

[Sargeant Preston]

Well..... Back in the beginning of time, one of the first albums I ever purchased was this one. Take note of the title. I'm so old that there was a time in history where there was no such thing as email. Upon the advent of email, the name I used was IbLive@whatever dot com. And I've been using it since for various things.

Now. On another forum, for awhile I had in my signature line Psalms 100:1. Look it up if you don't know it. Felt it was safe and non-preachy. Anyway, Had a troll sort of attack me for preaching. Including insinuating my forum name was some subliminal Christian message of being alive. I won't shy away from making aware my beliefs.... like mentioning being on worship team at my church for a time. I also don't preach here and certainly wasn't in the other forum. I did go ahead and change the signature line to the first one you see here (the one in red). And I explained what the IbLive stood for.... nothing more, nothing less.

PS: I believe when the troll came after me, I was actually using this album cover as my avatar, so there was a little bit of SMH reaction.

I remember you explaining the connection to Iron Butterfly sometime last year. Prior to that, I thought it was a clever anagram for "I Believe".

That's really funny, considering it that whenever I read your posts, I hear a distinct Boston accent, in my head.

 

[DirtySteve]

Honestly, I thought it was "I Be Live". It's going to be hard to get that out of my head.

That works also.

FTR
My mom was a hiuge fan of Sgt. Preston of The Yukon and she gifted me with the middle name of 'Preston'. It's my way of paying tribute to her.
I'm ever so grateful that she wasn't a fan of Bela Lugosi.
