[size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]I've met and played with many fantastic musicians who haven't the faintest idea about basic social skills, washing themselves or suppressing their freakish behaviour. [/font][/color][/size]

[size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]You just have to balance up how much you need their talent against how much you don't want to be in their company. [/font][/color][/size]

This is so true.

It might be worth talking to the singer about this. If she isnt comfortable either then just text him (joke). Personally i would give him a try. You might then find he really isnt suitable musically, at least that would be a valid reason, he might even agree.
