Silvia Bluejay Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 Taken from one of my FB status updates - one of my friends there PM'd me suggesting I start a fun thread on here too. [b][size=4][font=arial,helvetica,sans-serif]Signs that you are a real musician, No 1 - at the first glimpse of a ray of sunshine, rush to music corner and make sure the curtain is drawn and the gear is in the shade. Then, and only then, notice the nice weather.[/font][/size][/b] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirChewey Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 When you pass up on the numerous opportunities to 'get comfy' with the mrs due to wanting to get that line down - I'll be up in 5 mins....

[/quote] I couldn't get a decent mortgage before I became a musician either (self-employed, y'know, so opted for stumping up the cash). Now there are no fewer than two reasons why I wouldn't get a mortgage if I wanted one. Heh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] It was a long time ago but the car insurance bit actually happened to me. You're a real musician when what you play is more important than what you're playing it on.

Silvia Bluejay Posted June 13, 2012 Author Share Posted June 13, 2012 You're a real musician when you ask "what key is this in?" before joining in a singalong (yes, it happened to me, I wasn't quick enough to stop myself asking...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 You buy your child a Fisherprice keyboard for his first birthday, on the strength of it having a full three octave range, a record function, pitch control and a great 'chiptune' sound worth sampling...

Truckstop Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 ...you pretend to like all types of music and refuse to give an opinion on a recent pop record preferring instead to make a non-committal remark on the production standards.
