Who is @Backlinejoe ? ( Solved)

[Bass Guitar]

I just got back home and had to log in to Sonar and the Cakewalk Product center. The log in was auto filled with @backlinejoe? 

I also now see this in the lower corner where you sign out of the CPC 

Is this me or does everyone see this?

In my Product Center that space has my Bandlab Login name. I suggest you log out and then log back in with your correct credentials. There is a @backlinejoe on Bandlab who is also a bass player. Is it possible that is you and you logged in with those credentials?

I guess I better check my Bandlab account. I was forced to use a different log in to get the Sale Price last week. It is possible that I created that User name under that account a few years ago.

Thanks @Chaps

 

Yep I guess I'm backlinejoe!

The call was coming from inside the house!

Sounds like someone's still trying to find himself... 

Mine says @userxxxxxxxx, not my login name.

So now that you know it's you, do you know what it means? 🤪

I probably was just in a hurry to create the account and that popped into my head. It is a 100 % never have I called myself that or have I met the guy. And of all the jobs I’ve had in audio I have never been the Backline tech. Does carting amps from the van qualify?

I've met @Backlinejoe. He's a veteran roadie, a dude who's traveled every highway in the US, big and small. Haulin', loadin' in, settin' up, breakin' down, loadin' out, and haulin' again. He's got stories, many of which would violate the forum rules.

He's seen more Anvil cases than he has sit down meals.

You don't know his name, but he's worked with 'em all, from the biggest ever to the never big.

He once knew where to cop in every major city in the US, now he knows the best NA meetings in every major city in the US.

You never want to wrap cable near him unless you know how to wrap cable.

COVID-19 lockdown reminded him of why he chose the life of a rock 'n' roll nomad, he's just not suited to stay in one place that long. The first tour bus he boarded after it ended felt like going home.

He got his first email address in the mid '80's before most of the world had ever heard the word "Internet" or knew what a modem did. He and the rest of the crew used to take turns with the one Compaq portable they had between them and he had the address of every artist relations rep, booking agency, and talent rep who had one.

The Compaq made him a solid PC man, and he got the first version of Cakewalk that would do audio and has used it in some form for all his board recordings ever since.

Late at night when the people are gone he likes to pick up his bass guitar, and play a song with a funky groove that is real as the day is long.

That's Backline Joe, long may he run until he takes off to the great gig in the sky in the Rolling truck Stones thing that's been parked outside, waiting, his whole career.

Seems there is an actual person.
