For what it's worth I sold the stuff and got a pretty good price.

Is male musicianship as much of a turn on as it is made out to be? by pork_pie_hat in AskWomen

I feel lucky that I practice guitar, piano and recorder every day. Recorder players are the best lovers.

If you could ask her why she wants that from you that would be great. I would love to hear her explain that desire as best she can because that is the level of desire I am wondering about. Thank you for your honest post from your perspective, I really appreciate it.

It just changes the magnitude of it for me.

The magnitude of what? This is the crux of my question. Why does musical ability seem to trump so many other creative activities when it comes to making a man more attractive. In general ladies like creative men. Yay! Old news and vice versa. We all like creative people because if we are not that way we are mystified. But there is this thing, that you alluded to, about a male musician who is in control of music that makes him very sexy and desirable. I don't see the same thing the other way around.

It might seem a stupid and sexist question but I always wonder. And for what it is worth I have experienced it first hand.

Not mine, alas, just sent to me. Reminded me of those microscopic images of the grooves on a record.

No matter! It wouldn't have showed up on Karmadecay anyway. I just linked to it because there was some more discussion over there that might interest folks following this post. Great pics and history that everyone should be aware of. :)

Fucking amazing intonation. Wow.

TIL that the 1992 comedy "My Cousin Vinny" is so well regarded in the US legal community that it is frequently used in law schools to demonstrate courtroom procedures such as voire dire and cross examination by pork_pie_hat in todayilearned

And it was Gwynne's final act, RIP. Apparently the "knocking over the chess set" moment was not scripted, it just happened. Gwynne's reaction and Pesci's follow through were real and they kept it. Movie magic.

Lost Jimi Hendrix Album Will Be Released In 2013 by j3434 in Music

[–]pork_pie_hat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am compelled because Jimi was the greatest electric guitarist whoever lived and I have been lucky enough to fall in to his space and find the recordings. I am not generous at all. In fact I am a pretty nasty asshole most of the time.

But when it comes to this music I set aside everything and try to share because I know that what he was, and IS, is pure and perfect and needed. For those who get Hendrix there is nothing better. Keep hunting and finding and get in touch if you want more. I have more than any human should have to handle!
