"PS, why is this in BS? Surely it's why most blokes take up the guitar. "
So why do women take up the guitar? lol
I have to say that some men's voice just hit the spot but it's not just about voice. The idea of a kind, sensitive man, pouring his heart out or showing a good clean sense of fun, intelligently expressing feelings and sensitively showing emotions....
Not that I could ever be a groupie you understand... !!!
(and in total fairness some women's voices and songs have the exact same effect)
