ITMusicians and eating disorders??

I got this email from Amazon

'We've noticed that customers who have purchased or rated books by Matt Cranitch have also purchased Overcoming Bulimia and Binge-eating Self-help Course (Self Help Course) by Peter Cooper. For this reason, you might like to know that Overcoming Bulimia and Binge-eating Self-help Course (Self Help Course) will be released on 1 October 2007. You can pre-order yours for just £7.00 by following the link below.'

Or perhaps could it be a different Pete Cooper?

I'd have thought the answer to that is obvious:
There's no time to eat if your flat out playing tunes!

It's due the presence of pork scratchings in pubs.

The reason is because musicians dont eat dead animals.... they use them to make music instead!!!

Pete Cooper also has a good book about playing the fiddle - someone will come up with a link to this, no doubt.

Is it a sad day when a thread about Pete Cooper's alleged eating disorder affiliation is the most interesting thing on here?

Digestive trouble is sounded through a hornpipe.

e.g., Wot's for tea, darlin? Heinz baked beans.

The only thing I don't eat is small quantities.

To help with my weight problem, I took up the Thin Whistle and the Mando-lean.

Whistle players can't eat,otherwise they get overwhelmed with saliva. Being near other people eating or smelling food also affects me.

My dad told me that eating a lemon in front of a singer will stop them from singing due to the drying up of the mouth. One to remember next time someone starts singing a ballad as soon as the tunes finish! Never tried it but...
