Thread Name: BS: ok...it was MEANT as a compliment
Subject: RE: BS: ok...it was MEANT as a compliment
Last Friday night, after a successful gig, I was approached by a portly guy in his forties who said to me,
"I've seen you play dozens of times and I wanted to tell you that YOU'RE the reason I bought a guitar and started lessons"
I was naturally very flattered and was in the process of thanking him for his kind words when he added,
"When I saw the size of your fingers, (they're short and fat),I thought to myself, Well if this guy can play, ANYONE can!"
That sort of took the gloss of the compliment!
