I thought it was all the long hairs in spandex who were getting the women. I'm glad I never went there,probably would have ended up with VD or worse. I'm going to start a new one. Why do all the women like musicians?
I know the original coke bottle was designed a certain shape so us men would like it(its true). And certain theorys exist that the guitar exudes the likeness of an extension of.........well you know,that still leaves me wondering about us keyboard players.
I am happily married and not shopping so this is a nonissue with me,in addition I play in church,not exactly a place where all the hotties are getting drunk and loose,and even if there are hotties I'm not looking.
Your musings on the er,weight abundant.......skinny challenged, reminded me of another short quip."Fatty and skinny laying in bed fatty rolled over and skinny was dead."
I personally never liked the very skinny girls,they were not healthy. Give me a big boned girl,most importantly a girl with a big heart.

Hi! I am Renig's daughter. And as I have a tendency to be attracted to men who are musicians myself, I thought I would take a crack at this question...

First, a musician that performs live exudes a certain confidence. Second, I think it is quite something to watch a musician who is "into" what they are doing...watching someone do what they love, what they are passionate about, is an amazing thing to watch.

Or, we could go with the Freudian interpretation....the Oedipus Electra Complex...where I resent my mother and identify with my father and so seek other musicians like him.

But I prefer the former explanation to the latter, but undoubtedly, my Dad's passion for music does influence my like of musicians...as does my Mum's passion for music (she is a musician too).

Thanks for your input from another perspective. I hope I haven't offended anyone with my surface humor, I know most women are far deeper than that when looking for a guy. I can't hardly imagine the guy with the big wart on his nose and 100 pounds overweight being very alluring to the average female I don't care hope good he plays,unless he has money just kidding.
It is hard to exude confidence sometimes when the director changes keys without telling anyone or when he throws that extra song in you dont have or are not familiar with,but I try to look like I know what I'm doing.

A very musically family...

Once I've met a girl in a music shop where I'm buying my guitar strings. She was so beautiful, her looking was so young and fresh and her smile touched my heart and my soul. Right in that moment I had the vision to make music with her - she was a pianist/keyboardist...

Well, I think it's really not unusual that somebody's getting attracted to somebody else who shares the same interests. It's mostly a good recipe for a long and happy partnership...
Regards, Danny

Right you are, Danny boy, It's natural to be attracted to people with the same interests!....By the way, anyone ever tell you you're kind of cute?....HE>>>HE>>>HE!

Russ

P.S. Believe me, in my younger days I'd have probably been in much less trouble if I actually DID like boys. No such luck, though!

That's my girl!!!!

Yes, for me it's absolutlely essential to have shared and common interests with the love of your life. I have been blessed in that regard.

We are indeed a musical family. My lovely wife shares vocal duties in our duo. My daughter is a 'natural' - I've never heard her hit a note off pitch. Dad was a first tenor with The London Welsh Male Voice Choir and my aunt Leah was a member of the chorus at the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden for over 30 years. I was fortunate enough to recently buy a CD recorded at the garden in 1955 of La Traviata with my aunt Leah in the role of Annina (Violetta's maid). The role of Violetta being sung by none other than the great Maria Callas.

Hope you guys don't mind me blowing my own trumpet - but I'm so darn proud of all of 'em.

When there's a song playing in your head 24/7, and your fingers play the chords and your feet tap the rhythm what else are you going to do?

I have lived and loved music all my 55 years. Playing is a necessary outlet for me.

Impressive musical talent in your family, Renig....WHAT HAPENED TO YOU?

Hey, bud, you know, I'm ABSOLUTELY KIDDING...pulling your leg!

You're one of my favorites, and a Guild guitar fan/expert also!

All the best...
