I'm just wondering if this will be a problem when Diana Krall finally comes to her senses, dumps that Costello dude, and hooks up with me.
I still want to practice a couple of hours a day, and play $20 dive bar gigs with my friends. Will that work? |

Oh, wait.

So you think she would fit in at TBDB perfectly then? Other than the 'nice to look at thing' I mean.

|  | On the TB leaderboard for low talent/gear ratios! | | Join Date: Jun 2000 Location: NJ | | My wife is a much better musician than I am (a pretty talented and classically trained clarinetist). I'm a hack, but I'm working on changing that. Unfortunately things haven't exactly been great for a quite a while, but the differences in our musical ability hasn't been a factor.
At least she's never cited THAT as a reason .....
