SHALOM TO ALL MY CHORDIE FRIENDS.
Neo whats wrong with you, apologising for what ????
I am angry reading this but honestly looking for an answer and I am not trying to be a Schmuck or an obnoxious person.
We have the French Horn is calling it a French offensive.????It almost sounds like some people are saying to call an instrument a Jews Harp is anti-Semitic. Music shops here call them Jews Harp and I haven’t noticed any offence taken by my many Jewish friends.
Classical Guitar I am thinking the way to combat the perception of the name "Jew's harp" as a slur in your country is not to try to change the language, but to improve the image of the instrument. You could do that by treating the Jew's harp as a legitimate musical instrument and encouraging others to do the same."
If I am wrong so are the music shops that sell these items.

Re: Why Dont Girls Play Air Guitar. (13 replies, posted in Poems)
Thank you Easy Beat and Neo for taking time to comment on and read my piece.This year's world air guitar title was won by a Japanese lady , Nanami Nagura. I see females are now taking up guitar more then they use to. I wonder if many people play air piano??
Jim I guess if Sigmund Freud was around today, instead of writing my piece, he would have presented an intellectual university paper on the male gender describing the energy created by the life instincts and DNA of the male prone to playing air guitar and it's effect on the human female. When I hear people say they have made "a Freudian slip" I always think Freudian Slip would be a good name for a boat ramp. I guess that shows that I really am weird.
Phill you are right kids are a great source of inspiration. I can imagine there are people out there who could tell some interesting stories about blow up guitars.
Classical Guitar there are some brilliant lady guitar players out there in all genres but I think there is still a need for more to strut their stuff. I am starting to realise that maybe the Kid is right not many girls are prone to playing air guitar. I had alot of funny ideas come into my head following his question.

Topic: Why Dont Girls Play Air Guitar. (13 replies, posted in Poems)
I wrote this a few weeks back a few days after a very clever nine year old asked me, " why don't girls play air guitar" ?
A nine year old boy asked me an important question.
Why dont girls play air guitar?
I guess it would make them more like blokes.
Maybe imaginery music stores are sexist.
They will only sell air guitars to blokes.
Or someone with male intentions.
Someone with whiskers on their face and other infections.
Sometimes I feel the need to adopt the Silly Me stance.
When asked important questions.
By those wiser than me with much better perceptions.
Why dont girls play air guitar?
To say they like the real thing would be far to easy.
Why doesn’t this kid ask me something easy,
While on his musical quest seeking answers from grand old folks.
Popular music and questions about things that happened before his time.
Those he talks to older ones who refer to Beatles as musicians.
Something any entomologist would dispute.
Or the Rolling Stones as the giants of rock.
Something any geologist would dispute.
This kid needs more than me.
Me allegedly someone with the right connections..
Not guilty your honour that girl did not steal that air guitar.
Check the evidence you will see this air has boys fingerprints all over it.
Unless you can prove otherwise air guitar are made for boys.
What more can a poor boy do but play air guitar.
Why dont girls play air guitar?
Don’t ask me my heads not pointing in the right direction.
My microscope is worn out and my eyes aren't as observant as yours.
Why dont girls play air guitar.?
Kid ask an astronomer.
Men Are from Mars, Women Are from Venus.
What, your only nine and you now want to know why this metaphor has become part of popular culture.
Why don’t girls play air guitar?
