Hugh Jass.

Not my idea tho. I saw that name on the credits of a video game. Never found out if it was a joke or truly the name of some unfortunate soul.

My first email handle was poodlecruncher. It was referring to the harmonics shrieks my guitar made when I lightly touched the fret, and had the amp turned up. Got a few strange looks with that one.

The new passenger/ freight line's new name is:
