Ladies & Gentleman:

Please allow me to unmask.  Rooty Baegga is also Headly Westerfield.

Having a secret identity was nothing more than this super hero needing his 
privacy.  Errr, no.  Here's the real story:

As a free-lance writer, many years ago and long before the Internet, I 
needed a nom de plume for a publication I was both editing and writing the 
majority of the content.  I invented several aliases, but the only one that 
survived these many years was Rooty Baegga.  He (me?) had a whole history 
as well.  Born into an Italian family, etc, so forth and so on....

Over the years I would use Rooty as a Front from time to time, mostly just 
for the fun of it.

About a year ago, because I was getting so much email, I decided to 
separate "business" from "pleasure" by using Rooty's name for all 
non-business.  It also made it easier to filter message by the TO: field, 
as opposed to content.

However, I can never keep my email programs straight and sent the latest 
message to this list using my real name.  The last time I did that the 
Harp-L listserve rejected the message because Headly Westerfield had not 
subscribed to this list.  For reasons unbeknownst to me, Headly Westerfield 
now seems to be a member of this list.

Therefore, I will henceforth use my real name here, as well as stop posting 
on topics that have nothing to do with Harmonicas.

You have Rooty Baegga's solemn promise on that.
