"Don't wanna ride no shootin' star. Just wanna play on the rhythm guitar." Emmylou Harris, "Rhythm Guitar" from "The Ballad of Sally Rose"
I remember a similar letter to an agony aunt (that's what they're called in the UK) a few years ago - went something like this. It was written by a girl......
Dear Jane,
I've been going out with a marvellous man, he's everything I ever wanted. He plays guitar and writes songs for me - not only that, he plays all my favourite Osmond and David Cassidy songs, even though he's a rock musician, without complaining. (I TOLD YOU IT WAS A FEW YEARS AGO!)
His family seem to like me too - his father's "something in the city," his mother's the patron of several charitable organisations, his brother's a junior house-doctor (Intern, for Americans..) and his sister's taking Maths at Oxford University.
But - I'm scared stiff of introducing him to my family, we come from a council estate and we don't have much money and we don't have a lot of class. My dad has a "bad back" and can't work - he just lies on the sofa all day drinking cans of beer. My mum's in a world of her own - she's addicted to Valium and she's off with the fairies. My oldest brother is currently in jail for stealing cars, the middle brother is also in jail - armed robbery - and the youngest brother plays drums in a cabaret group. My older sister describes herself as an escort - she's really a prostitute. My other sister is currently in a rehab clinic for drug addiction, whilst her husband is in jail for dealing class A drugs. My grandmother runs a brothel, my grandfather runs a troupe of rent boys, and my great-grandmother was recently in court for soliciting.
How do I tell my boyfriend my brother's a drummer?
:D :D :D

:D :D Nice one.
I heard a similar one about a little boy who told his classmates that his Dad worked as a cleaner in a brothel. When questioned after class by a concerned teacher he admitted that it wasn't true, but he just couldn't bring himself to admit publicly that his Dad was really a lawyer...
I just hope that Bish isn't now going to tell us that he's both a drummer and a lawyer and that he's planning to sue us all for slander.... :shock:
Ah, but Bish is a born-again guitarist.....
:D :D :D

Great reply Ricochet and another funny post by Vic.

I've had a lot of sobering thoughts in my time.
It was them that turned me to drink.
