Is it a bad idea to date a guy who plays...

I can't believe the advice this poor girl received. The correct answer?

Run. Run fast. Run now.

Please feel free to enlighten her. Do it for the children.

Jeff--My wife says that your advice is also appropriate for girls who may be attracted to pedal steel players.[This message was edited by Dave White on 14 June 2006 at 05:00 PM.]

The Correct answer is YES!!!

If there weren't people out there ready and willing to date banjo pickers then you would have a world full of homeless banjo pickers.
Can you just imagine a banjo picker on every street corner, in every downtown area, of every major city.....

So I say yes to giving your heart and home to a banjo picker and helping keep the streets of America free of feral banjo pickers! What would you rather have??

PS
My name is Alvin and I'm a banjo picker.
Yes I have been told, that if I wake her up at 3 A.M. one more time playing my banjo, I will be homeless.

"buy him a mandolin, and when he's not looking, burn the banjo."
now there's some sage advice.

I took a date to see Bela Fleck play.
All she did all night was drool at him.
"He's soooo cute; giggle giggle!"

If he plays a four string, then he's surely a good, wholesome, barbershop quartet kind of guy, the sort your Mum & Pa would be so conmfortable with at the table sharing the drumsticks and grits with. He probably really does have a steady gig someplace, like maybe, the ballpark on Saturday afternoons.
If he plays a five string, then hey, you better run for the hayloft & make sure he ain't up there makin' out with a cousin, or your sister!

I think you could go ahead and use the words "professional musicians" in place of "banjo pickers" and it would still be pretty accurate.

Geez Jeff, you gotta stir up some trouble here? I mean, whats not to like? Banjo pickers got it going on and as far as all the other wanna be pedal picking steel players....take a hike

Dang, Gary Lee. Kinda lost my appetite after seeing that. There's really only one appropriate response:

Buck Trent already made a solid body bango and it sounded just like a tele especially after he put a 6th string on it

Gary, I've said this before and I will again, you ain't right.

This is a funny response:

"I have no idea why it would be a bad idea to date a guy that plays the banjo. Like a lot of people have said, it shouldn't matter what he does as long as you love him. Besides, Billy Connolly plays the banjo and he's rolling in money."
