8. Ask Jimmy Fallon why rings aren't such a good idea.

Especially for a string musician. I'm not sure he can play guitar anymore because of that accident. Least ways, I've not seen him play. It doesn't take much to hook a ring-bearing finger on something, and often enough, by the time you realize it, it's too late.

This musician wears one ring, a smallish gold wedding band, right where the priest placed it more than 35 years ago - on my right ring finger, figuring I could still pick, strum or bow if something happened to it.

Then you have the Django Reinhardt's of the world. He played guitar with two fingers and a thumb, but he was an amazing exception.

Because she likes them,I suppose. Why else? virgogal Dec 2019 #1
