Mixed couples: Instructions for Use!


The first question that a boyfriend of a musician do when she feels it presents to friends and colleagues is: "Sounds too?". Or, more often, "What instrument do you play?", In this case already giving for granted that musicians always mate from similar.
But there are tiny minorities of "mixed marriages", ie formed by a / a musician and a "Muggle", to put it to Harry Potter, that is an outsider in the music world.
These pairs, in my opinion, or split up within a short time, or are made to last forever. Like the turtles or die early in life, or you are brought along to the death (yours, of course).
The integration between the two models as diverse as the anthropologically musicians and non musicians can be extremely difficult, a bit 'to the prejudices that both parties have towards the other, so different from himself, and a little' to the objective differences between two ways of living and working that are literally antipodes.
Let me explain. A civil servant or a private company, has a more or less fixed time, leave, salary, free weekends and disease. In other words: RIGHTS.
A freelance musician (obviously for the employees of the situation is different orchestras public) does not know what he will do in the morning to the evening! But I'm not kidding! It happened to me several times to be called in the afternoon for a concert the same evening a hundred miles away.
Once, even, I was about to leave for the winter holidays when the phone rang:

-Ready?
-I speak with Professor S.? Yes

-There would be recorded the music for the Teatro Stabile
-going! When?
"Now, we are already in the studio. The cellist got sick and passed away at the last minute.
-...

The thing that shocked me most is that once you press the small change of plans for my boyfriend, which incidentally was already loading the luggage in the car, he did not give the slightest hint of wonder! It 'was at that time that:

1) I knew it was the man of my life
2) I wondered what kind of life I make him do, even if such a thing amazes me more now!

But some results are obtained only with great sacrifice. We must work on it, so as not to scare away all suitors.

So, you're a guy and you're in love with a musician? Here are a few simple rules:

1) Do not ever plan holidays well in advance. 99 out of 100 you'll need to postpone or cancel your because she happened to be the chance of a lifetime (or more likely the only chance for months, so can not give up)
2) Do not ever ask "What are you doing today?". First because it sounds like a joke and the second because in all likelihood not even know her!
3) Keep a diary on which to write down all their commitments. Pretending to remember his movements will make her feel important.
4) Do not be surprised. Never. You're welcome. With a musician, anything is possible.

The results? Me and my boyfriend got married two months ago.

ps: of course during the days of the honeymoon I would have called for a major concert, but I am forced to give up ... but only because the plane landed in Milan, otherwise I would have also made ...
