I'm a National Parks ranger and I sing chanteys. I recently found out that the ships fiddler was called the "monkey's orphan." Since I also play fiddle, I might have chosen that as my Mudcat name if I had known of that term then - but I've become accustomed to the "chanteyranger" name, and I rather like it, so it stays, at least for the time being.

Cranky Yankee - great story about your name!
