You dude I am in Giffnock at the moment on holiday just down the road from you. We should get together and jam.

Now for the answer.

For me family first. They know i love to play but i have to support them at the moment. My little one has learning difficulties and I am shelling out about £100 a week. You would do it too if it was your son or daughter. I love them to bits and they let me play what i have.

Cheers,

Jonny.

Now here is a guy that has his head and heart in the right place.

Even in my wild and woolly youth (which was, I'll admit in retrospect, a little too wild and too woolly for my own good) I would often go for stretches without owning a guitar (pawned, you know) but I'd never go without a girl friend - I mean, where wood I live? Who would buy me food? Who's makeup would I borrow before the next show?!? (hey, it was the early-mid eighties)

Now, older and wiser, with a loving wife who's one of my best friends and three beautiful children, there isn't a question, not a moment's hesitation... I would die for these people; I'd certainly give up my guitar gear for them. Hell, if it came to it, I'd sell off my guitars to care for my cats - they're part of my family too, and by accepting them into my house I have accepted responsibility for their care and well-being. Ultimately, guitars are just things, and life is full of things, most of which can be replaced... The connections we establish with other lives around us are our sole legacy - our guitars never miss us when we're gone...

Jimi -

I was with you, right up until the cats.....

You just have to pick the right g/f.

My lawyer once told me "Jay, you can marry more money in 5 minutes than you can make in a lifetime ..."

(It sank in as I continued to fight with the ex over whether or not I was going to be able to keep the house ...)

 

[Warg Master]

I am a lucky one too toind my wife. she encouraged me to order the Dargie Delight.

 

[Big Poppa]

you know how many fish there are in the sea....more than guitars on the planet....

 

[Bungo]

Guitars smell better than fish as well!

What do u call a Musician without a girlfriend?..............................HoMELESS!

 

[Tolerate]

yay musicians jokes

*waits for the vocalist ones*

 

[Tim O'Sullivan]

I strike a balance. My girlfriend lives in the USA, and I live in the UK. When I go to see her, or when she comes here, I dont even think about the guitar. I just like to focus all my attention on her. Of course when I am not with her, I spend all my weekends gigging, and play guitar most days. She is coming to stay with me for a few months later on in the year, and its just going to be a balance. Bit of give and take. I think you can have both if you have balance. She encourages me to buy more guitars, and even helps me ship them! She tells me a need a green guitar!

I think a good woman won't go trying to change your or messing with your life.

I certainly wouldn't go trying to change some woman into being something she isn't.

Love each other for who you are, not who you think you should be.

That's all well and good.......until the first kid arrives. Then, everything changes, whether you want it to or not.

IF you have kids.

Not everyone feels they were put on this planet for the sole purpose of procreation.

True - I wish more people felt that way!

I have never wanted any.

 

[jeffrey]

8 years happily married, no children.

Probably has something to do with the "happily" part.

Now, if I were fabulously wealthy and could afford the "help" I'd need to manage a family (as we both work full-time, demanding jobs), it would be different possibly.

 

[Bungo]

Chaps

All I can say is until you have them, you can't imagine why anyone would want them.

Once you have them, you can't imagine not having them!

Well, IMHO, gf << guitars <<<<< wife
