Oops!

Forgot the screen name thing.

My original "nick" was "Bongo - ( shortened nick of last name in alliteration )" but the same concept has stuck for over 40 years.

It involves a bought set of bongo drums, a wild afternoon, ( very early afternoon )/night/morning in San Juan, Puerto Rico, a Salsa band in a night club.....oh.....and Cuba Libres.....lots of them. A crazy cook on the boat whose nickname was "Hoss" gave me the initial nickname.

Not bad, not bad at all for a blonde, blue-eyed gringo. :-)

"El Gran Salseron" translates as "The Great Big Salsa Dancer/fanatic about Salsa music/Salsa musician." Take your pick.

The "El Gran Salseron" nick was given to me by fellow Salsa enthusiasts. They call me this nick or "Timbalero," "Timbales/drum player."

I'm envious.

You got rhythm.

I don't and it is a problem.
