    I like the rocker but wanted to make it "Quick". Maybe I should call this one the QCRP or Quick Change Rocker Post!

    Cheers, JR
    I like it! if I was musical (which unfortunately I don’t have any talent in this field) and I was starting up a band I would now call it “Quick change Rocker Post” sounds really cool
