Is your spouse a musician/singer/someone who does something music-related? I was wondering because at least three of the musicians I know are married to people whom are either musicians or singers. Don't vote if you're not married.

We were all involved with Lady musicians and during a break, we were comisserating about being involed with not real good Lady players. After a pregnant pause the drummer said: "Oh well. love is deaf!"

Our first meeting was when she auditioned me. (I got the gig).
Previous affairs with non-musicians always ended due to religious differences. I was broke, and they worshipped money. |

She used to regularly show up in my life after enough time had passed that I'd forgotten why I ran away the last time ;-) |

She always pissed me off b/c she plays two instruments (Flute and Violin) and sings at a collegiate level and I only have one (Double Bass), BUT I get my gigs than she does. |  | Thread Tools | Search this Thread | | | |
