People who play f**k music in bars have trouble finding dates? Incredibly, yes.
F**k music quickens the pulse of everyone in the bar, but at the end of the night f**k music players, ironically, are nearly always seen sitting and holding their instrument in their hands, watching the non-players pair up.

My daughter, for a recent birthday, bought me a brightly reflective sticker saying "Hug a musician, they never get to dance". It is prominently displayed on the case of my gigging instrument.
Obviously my having a daughter suggests that at least at one time I had no need of a dating service.

"The first participant of the online dating service was a 14-year-old boy from Bavaria who likes to play guitarre"?
Are you sure 'folk music' isn't a euphomism in Austria?

We should agree on one tune to mean 'Do you fancy me?' and 'I'm interested' respectively.

Hi, Llig,

Actually, I have been single since I took up the bodhran.

Re: Online dating for folk musicians!
"We should agree on one tune to mean "Do you fancy me ?" and "I´m interested" respectively"
"Tell her I am" would perhaps be a suitable tune for the answer part of the dialogue. Any ideas for the question part ?
