Hey Pat,

Hey Pat,

does your username have anything to do with White Castle by chance?

Shawn

Yes. Yes it does. My handle (I use it everywhere I post online) is an homage to those delicious $.40 pieces of heaven, as well as Newcastle Brown Ale. Two castles, that when combined, make for one pungent kingdom.

White Castles, though, are my original guilty pleasure, the future success of my wetshaving notwithstanding.

That brings back lots of memories of my band director, who was often heard yelling, "Band...and drummers"!

That's so funny you found that... I typically "hate" drummers -- Musically, I'm a dyed-in-the-wool low brass guy and was just directing as a fill-in that particular day.
