Welcome back Big Al

As for nicks ..... Goldfinger makes my hands hurt just reading it. I am
allergic to gold (overexposure) and the contact dermatitis on my fingers
ruined my life as I knew it at one time. So let's steer clear of that one.

I have been JC to my friends as long as I can remember. I have had another
nickname.

When I was in the band, everyone had one. There were 3 named John, so it was
a necessity. At one time, Christensen mutated in to Christmastune, then it
was shortened to Xmastune, then finally Xmas. You can't plan these things,
but if it popped up, I would answer to it (If a nickname is a right of
passage on the list..... or elevation, or degradation would probably be more
like it)

Xmas
