Got this from Terry Pratchett's "Soul Music"...any other quotes which you feel fit the bill??

"In his experience guitarists came in three categories. There were the ones he thought of as [i]real musicians[/i], who worked at The Opera House or for one of the small private orchestras. There were the folk singers, who couldn't play but that was alright because most of them couldn't sing either. Then there were the - hemhem - troubadours and other swarthy types who thought a guitar was like a red rose in the teeth, a box of chocolates and a strategically placed pair of socks, another weapon in the battle of the sexes. They didn't play at all, apart from one or two chords, but they were regular customers. When leaping out of a bedroom window just ahead of an angry husband the one thing a paramour is least concerned about leaving behind is his instrument...."

Remind you of anybody???

Soul Music was the novel that got me into the whole Discworld series, really funny and lots of muso in jokes; recommended.
