User:G.I.JOEPRODUCTIONS

When I started working in the music business in 1988 I was given the name G.I.Joe on my first day when my co-workers forgot my name. This was at the Ritz in New York City. My co-workers said to me Joe do this and Joe do that. After an hour or so they asked me if my name was Joe? I said no. Then they asked me why I did what they said? I said {as someone who grew up in NYC] I thought you were talking to me so I did what you asked. I just figured that they forgot my name. Most of the tech crew didn't grow up in NYC and had a laugh that I would just do as I was asked on my first day and not correct them about my name. The name stuck and 20 years later most of the music industry knows me just as Joe or G.I.Joe.
