Old members that you remember

The days of Comme may be gone, but they are most surely not forgotten. List the old members with who you shared personal memories with. I'll start:

Mozartian :)
A serious musician is one who loves making music. A musician who lives off of music is insane.

I vaguely remember speaking to 'lagin' about the RCM system.

I also remember talking to 'Pianistimo' about Doctor Gradus ad Parnassum like 3 years ago.

'Lau' showing me the Finlandia by Sibelius.  Also, there was a post about someone thinking based on our forum names that we were female, and to their surprise, it turns out we were both guys.  That gave me a good laugh.

Some names that I remember, mostly because of the Audition room:

Bouter Boogie - first recording I ever heard of 'L'isle Joyeuse', and it was damn good!  She stopped posting in like 2006, so a long time ago lol.

Something like 'Electrafingers' or along the lines of that.  I think that he/she had a Gaspard recording and it was really good too!

'Schoenberg13' or 'Schoenberg3' or something like that - Prokofiev Sonata #3, first time I heard it.  I'm actually playing that now, and I remember he was like 12/13 in the video he posted of him playing it.  I was like 15 at the time he posted the video and I was like "I'm definitely going to play this" so I printed it off, and couldn't get past the first page haha.

'Paris' - Rachmaninoff Op 39 #1, again the first time I heard it.


I wonder where these people are now?  They were seriously good, and disappeared (or changed their names and are still posting lol)
Interested in discussing:

-Prokofiev Toccata
-Scriabin Sonata 2
