    Hi !

    Last night, my wife said that they said I looked like an ET.
    What does it mean ? I know ET, he is cool, small legs, big eyes, strange hands...
    How would you react ?

    Doesn’t sound like a compliment. I’ll leave it at that.

    Maybe it was because you deal with such a field of art - jazz that is not understood by the general public.
    So you are an alien from outer space.

    It probably means to them that you are not like them
    I always liked not to be like the others
    Live your life as you like it for you and don't bother those fools' opinion

    It means they are in awe of your knowledge of space.

    Your wife obviously thinks you are 'out of this world' as a spouse.

    Maybe because I play tunes they don't play and I don't play the tunes they play.
    Some are shared, very popular tunes and the simple ones.
    I don't have any kind of style maybe.
    No be bop, no swing, no bossa...
    Only tunes I can play in various options.

    Who's "they" and why does your wife hang with them?

    If this were here in France I presume those they meant you look(ed) like an extraterrestial (which can have all kinds of meanings), but I would presume you know that...

    I have known one for 30 years, we had had the same classical guitar teacher.
    The other one proposed me to play his Les Paul but I refused saying I preferred my cheap guitar.
    They were standing in front of me and smiling with big eyes.
    My wife was sitten behind them and listened to what they said.
    Then one of them, my friend, joined me to play, I wanted to leave but he wanted to play with me.
    My wife doesn't hang with them but they said I was lucky, that's all.
