What is Marty's last name? LOL

[plainsong]

Ok, that may sound really dumb, lol, but if you go to garageband..... www.garageband.com/artist/lovehammers

it says "lead singer Martin Xavier"

Soooo....is his last name Casey? or Xavier? Or is that his middle name maybe???

Anyone???

[Trees]

Middle name Xavier, last I heard Casey is his last name lol

[plainsong]

Thanks!! It's late here and I was confused, which happens often LOL

[msd2k]

I believe he went by the name Martin Xavier for awhile..dropped the Casey. Actually has a great name no matter what combination he wants to use.

Marty actually used to go by "Martin X"!

[istersay]

story behind the middle name "xavier"... posted by marty on the old lh message board and reposted by gabrielle (thank you for posting this!!!) on snarkgasm...

Where did the "X" in Martin X come from?

There are a couple of reasons for my name.

1. In high school we were given student id's. The id's had a place for you first, middle and last name. My parents never gave me a middle name. They gave me my last name and chose my first so they left the middle name up to me. Pretty cool of them. I had no middle name so on my student id, I put an "X' in the spot where it would go. Everybody always asked about the "X" and I liked the mystery of it, so I wanted to make it a permanent part of my initials.

2. So I had the "X" but when people asked what it stood for I had no answer. When I was growing up, my good friend Jimb had a ghost in his house. Lots of freaky shit happened at his house (shadows, strange noises, things falling out of the kitchen cabinets and exploding on the floor, seeing something out of the corner of your eye stuff). Jimb name the ghost Xavier and so when anything weird happened he would say it was just Xavier. I liked the name and later took it for my middle name.

Well, that's the story.

Laters,

Martin X

When I read that I knew immediately he was a Catholic.

Keep asking questions plainsong! With this many ears, eyes and curiosity we'll really get to know everything about Mr. Xavier.

Hey skybluehope -

The thread wasn't deleted. You just simply need to look on Page 2 of all the messages.

[skybluehope]

My apologies, my mistake. I just now got an email from Tammy saying you moved it, I wasn't aware, so I really am sincerely sorry for what I said, and I deleted that post...

oops.....

Love and Peace,

Reg

Here's a little "Marty" animation as a peace offering:

[skybluehope]

OH!! I see what you mean, you didn't move it, I just didn't know that there was a page two for the threads!! I only now am figuring that out....stupid, stupid, silly me......lol

I thought it was moved, but it wasn't even that, I'm really, really sorry, I should of asked before jumping to the wrong conclusions....

Forgive me, I am just learning the navigation of this forum still...

Love and Peace,

Reg

No harm done! Apology accepted and thank you.
