: Wrong, Bob! It is "Cello Goddess"! (not self-appointed, OF COURSE). It seems that during his freshman year, a clarinet student at the University where I teach attended my recital and he was moved to tears. (presumably, at the beauty of the music. Grieg Sonata.) He dubbed me the "Cello Goddess" and would yell out, no matter where we were, "Hello, Cello Goddess!" whenever he would see me around the school. At first I forbade him to call me by that embarrassing appellation, but he was undaunted. It rather grew on me, so now I expect the world will embrace its new Cello Goddess!
: Hopefully, my humorous telling of this tale shows through. I don't take it seriously by any means!

If you've read the post above, you see that I've been fishing for a more appropriate nickname than "Mom." So how about the ICM Cello Goddess--Goddess of the Internet cello realm and imparter of great cellistic wisdom. Works for me. I'll keep thinking though...
