  4. OK... I'll chime in... About 8 or 9 years ago, I was playing a gig at this small bar in Allegany, NY, near St Bonaventure. It was during the beginning of spring break, so naturally the place was packed with college kids. I was playing a set during which this rather attractive lady kept on staring at me. Of course, I stared back. During break, I went over to the bar kind of non-shalantly where she was standing to order a coke(as I always do at gigs). I turned over to speak with her when some dude started asking me questions about the band. Later, I was able to get a conversation going with her. We talked for awhile until it was time to start the next set. She told me that she was a elementary school teacher and had been teaching for 20 years. She also told me that she was formerly a piano teacher and how much she really enjoyed my playing. Later in the conversation, she asked how old I was and I gave her my age(I was about 30 yrs old at the time). I was totally shocked when she told me that she was 40. I didn't care, she was gorgeous. Only one problem, I had lived about 2 1/2 hrs away from the bar, she had lived only 22 miles away. I used to come over her house almost every weekend and call her every week(gas and phone bills were outrageous) and sometimes she would drive over to my apartment. She had this old upright piano that was out of tune. We had dated for about 3-4 months until I found out that she had seeing her old boyfriend. I remember one night while I was at her place, her old boyfriend started knocking at the door. I asked her what the hell is going on, she responded with "he just has another ax to grind". Needless to say, that night was the last I saw of her.
