Having visited bathing-suit beaces in Italy and "clothing-optional" beaches in Oregon, I can't really say that the sight of the average Joe or Jane in the nude is that much less appealing than the sight of the average Giovanni or Gina in a string bikini.

Funny thing, having seen lots of folks nude at the beaches here in Oregon, I can't really say I remember much about folks' anatomies except for the features I'd have seen even if they'd been wearing suits. It took me about 2 minutes to get used to the nudity the first time I visited Rooster Rock State Park on the Columbia. But maybe that was because I wasn't standing there in my overalls looking at a bunch of nekkid people.

I do recommend putting a towel between you and the guitar if you're playing in the nude--and putting the guitar down before you jump in the water!

Just think, folks. If you're on stage in your jeans and T shirt and your audience is bare nekkid, maybe they're calming themselves by picturing you naked!
