How about the image of the wild troubadour(which sounds quite similar to the italian world for scrxxxxer)appealling romantic or easy-going crowds?!Today down in this pub,tomorrow never knows...?! I still find folk musicians a sexy category suggesting sexual freedom.They inspire a particular sensuality...whatever. Personally I find clarinet players more sexy thal banjo players.Experience taught me that that nasty instrument requires a very WELL trained tongue. But it's a matter of what you're after... (I should add that folk musicians also get me the opposite effect:they get me romantic.Sort of:we'll love each other forever in music amen...)
