My wife Sue and I are currently members of an Irish band, she on upright bass, I on octave mandolin.

I also play upright bass for her singing duet (with a friend). We were in a local bluegrass band together 15 years ago. We still do a lot of duet singing ourselves--blues, folksongs, alternate country and traditional music.

She is a musical friend I can depend on--she has a great memory for lyrics, and always does her leads and harmony singing very competently and consistently. She's definitely lively and fun to make music with.
