A little sitar humor

[allends]

I kid you not: These comments were posted recently in my favorite sitar players' forum. The mere fact that we think these jokes are hysterical proves we are crazy about the instrument:


You might be a sitar player if. . .

... the calluses on your fingers can't use the touch screen on your iPhone.
... you spend years on a composition and still feel your first note isn't quite right.
... you often use the keyboard or iPhone without removing your mizrab (finger-pick).
... your electronic tanpura runs 24/7.
... your strings come in rolls, not in packs.
... you can re-tie a fret faster than lacing your shoe.
... you can't stand for a few minutes after practicing due to folded sitting position.
... you haven't seen your shoes since it snowed.
... the sitar lies in the bed next to you, and your wife sleeps on the sofa...

Mind you, this comes from someone who still drifts off tp sleep while practicing on occasion, but I thought those were pretty cool. (and my smokin' hot babe loves my calluses, heh)
