4. I'm the only one in my band of five guys who doesn't have a girlfriend...

and I'm the front man, fer godsakes! The other four have very nice relationships with their live-in girlfriends. What on earth am I doing wrong?

7. Play a...

'sexy' instrument like a Sax (sex?). If you are in a polka band....an acordian or a squeeze box gets the girls worked up. And strangely enough, bag pipes also work. Play something with some finger action.

If you are in a punk or heavy metal, scream loud and dress to impress-really goth.

But the best place to met girls is at your day time job. That is where I met hubby-he plays a sitar, among other things.

9. Can't help ya. If i had any musical talant i would have been a drummer.

I was a photographer instead...they are even lower on the totem pole than drummers or bassist. I never even got to couch surf much less get fixed up with a girlfriend. Worse yet, I was a decade or so older than most of the bandmembers I worked with...I didn't want to be that 'creepy-old-guy' so I stayed away from the women who came around to chat.

Truth be told, I was there for the music, some I still have on CD and consider to be among my most cherished possessions. I met some incredibly talented musicians during my decade as a band photographer. One of them, as it turns out, is a fellow DUer.

6. We pick on viola players too.

In the classical world.

What's the difference between a violin and a viola?

A: The viola burns longer.
B: The viola holds more beer.

What's the difference between a viola and a trampoline?
A: You take your shoes off to jump on a trampoline.


etc.

What do you call a violist that takes out a mortgage?
