3 times for me. Got married at 19. That was dumb. divorced at 21. Married again at 33. That one lasted 19 years and probably should have ended sooner. Been married now for 5 years and I found me a good one.

"Till death do us part". Death came, in the form of breast cancer, seven years ago this coming Sunday. I started with the best, so I really don't know just where to go from here. I've pretty well "seen it all", so I'll just say this - if it DOESN'T work out, I don't know what to tell you. If it does, hold on to it tight - it can all end too soon, and in soom situations, you can't do a damn thing about it... Jimmie

Sorry, I meant in SOME situations. With this, and a half a snoot full of gin, I'll go to bed... Jimmie

The first one lasted 9mos. 13 days and 16 hrs. (she like to have fun, just not with me)

The second one I'm still married to. Don't have any idea how. I guess because she likes music, that's probably the only common thread we have, but it's a strong one.

I'm in the middle of my 2nd "unmarriage" (i.e. divorce, splittsville, and a thousand other cliches').

The steel has always done me right though. :D

I've never been married but I read this thread for the heck of it and its been a fun read. Some of you make me wish I'd married the first time I could have and others make me glad I didn't. I am the only member of a large family who never married, never divorced, never lost a house, never paid alimony or child support. But I also never experienced the up sides. Don

Only once, 36 years last Monday. I believe I'll keep her around, maybe another 36 years? I would only be 93 years old. I think I can make it. :)

MSA Millennium, Legend, and Studio Pro, Reese's restored Universal Direction guitar, as well as some older MSAs, several amps, new and old, and a Kemper Powerhead that I am really liking. Recently added a Zum D10, a Mullen RP, and a restored blue Rose, named the "Blue Bird" to the herd. Also, I have acquired and restored the plexiglass D10 MSA Classic again that was built as a demo in the early '70s. I also added a '74 lacquer P/P, with wood necks.

My beautiful wife Gay and I have been married for nearly 33 years. It's the first and only marriage for us both. Now honestly, does she look like she's old enough to have been doing anything for 33 years? I'm a very lucky man, not only is she gorgeous...she puts up with my G.A.S. in every sense of the word! I clearly married above my pay grade.

My first one lasted 22 years,was a free man for eight years, On my second one now for 23 years. Never had any trouble from either one about my playing.My present one only gets upset when I'm NOT playing. Have'nt figured out yet if she just likes the money OR just glad to get me out of the house. Hey SHORTY it's TOO cold to have that old girl outside. Guess ya'll are still knocking em' out on Auburn Road. YOU BETCHA,DYK?BC.

Divorced in 1987 and just remarried this year. I was laid off in 2003 and have been a bum since so I don't know why she married a poker playing, steel guitar addict like me. She doesn't like poker and my playing bothers her because I am always searching for new things on the guitar. When I play a known tune it amazes her that I can really play something on the steel.

It is easy to play the steel guitar. Playing so that the audience finds it pleasing is the difficult act.

The first one did herself in with drugs after 7 years and that kinda spooked me. Got a good one now and she keeps me in line. Deborah and I've been together now just about 25 years. It seems to be working out...

Thanks Bent, you are so right. Looks like we both did well. Where was your photo taken? Mine was taken at the top of the faux Eiffel Tower in Las Vegas. (Michael J. it looks like you did well, too) :)
