So...does he play bass or drums, by any chance?;-)
There's a sort of running joke in my family...Dad has tried (unsuccessfully) for years to get someone to learn to play bass (or even bass guitar) and / or drums (including but not limited to the bodhran). He's tried bribing people with lessons, offers to buy instruments, everything...but none of us are rhythm affecionados, I guess! So Dad and my brothers tease me that I really should marry a bassist or drummer to complete the family band.
No, but he does play acoustic guitar, and has a pretty decent singing voice. And to top it all off, he IS looking to settle down with the 'right woman'.
