When on a coast to coast USA tour with Columbia Records in his early 20’s, Jr Choy, born Delano Choy Jr. was referred to by a music critic after one of the concert performances as an “erupting “Volcano” on the trumpet, who hails from Hawaii”…the other musicians on the tour jumped on that immediately and so “Volcano” has been his nick-name ever since for some 25 years now.

I guess he meant it as a compliment, I tell people that you can call me “Volcano” or Jr., (which my family refers to me as…”)
