Greek term or phrase: μπουζουκόβιος
Γιατι εγώ τότε πριν ανοίξω τα μπουζούκια, ήμουνα εφτά μέρες την εβδομάδα στα μπουζούκια.
Δεν ήμουν «μπουζουκόβιος» που λένε.
Ήμουνα μπουζουκόφιλος.
Εγώ ήθελα να πάω στα μπουζούκια να ακούσω τραγούδι.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your help and input. However, I regret that I cannot agree with your answer because in the first line above the writer says, 'Γιατι εγώ τότε πριν ανοίξω τα μπουζούκια, ήμουνα εφτά μέρες την εβδομάδα στα μπουζούκια'. and then goes on to say, 'Δεν ήμουν «μπουζουκόβιος» που λένε.' If going to the bouzoukia seven days a week is not being 'a regular of bouzouki haunts', I can't imagine what is.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you for your help and input. My separate note to NL explains why I cannot agree with his answer, despite the fact that two other apparently Greek translators agreed with it. Although I, personally, would not write the answer in your way (because my translation has to be written in US English), I think your answer is on the right track, so I am going to select it as being the most helpful.
