And now for something completely different. It's...

... el duende de Montey Python's Flying Circus.

RE: From a Gypsy Jazz forum (in reply to Miguel de Maria)

quote:

When most girls hear the word "musician", they think "unemployed".

In my antediluvian high school and university days, the girls you describe above went for the jocks and the fraternity boys, who were popular and supposedly would make good husbands. Nevertheless, there was then, and probably always has been, a type of girl that liked to live a little more dangerously than the average, conventional girl. Whether she did so because of an urge to live dangerously or because she wanted to create a "past" for herself, this type seemed to go for the more unconventional guys: musicians (jazz, folk, rock) as well as guys who were into the "Beat" scene, reading Jack Kerouac, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, "On The Road," "The Dharma Bums," and other works that pre-dated the '60s and the Hippie scene.

They were not what we call "groupies." I remember some of them really were into the scene: avant garde music, art, poetry, literature. They were interested in the less-than-conventional life that those things represented at the time. I imagine something similar still exists, i.e., girls who are neither "groupies" nor who are interested in the "right" qualities in a mate such as employment. Some are just into the "scene," whatever that scene may be today.

When you barely met a girl and she tells you she used to date other musicians... you know it's on

Lordy, when I hear that I run. Musomania, the cray cray girls who are desperate enough to date musicians more than once.

Girls who go with luthiers are no less delusional. They be like "Well, at least he pretends to have a steady job."

But the late night shop visits can be bad for dry wood.

Yeah Lenny, mine also never had musicians in her life. Also she's the only one who ever bought me a guitar... and the one who's lasting longer, it's just past two years and still going.

Regarding those "late night ladies", you might think they're into you for the wrong reasons but you can look at it as a sacrifice that comes with the job.

"I hope his daughter marries a jazz musician!"

Tommy Chong curses Cheech Marin.
