Well, make sure you inform your bf that his hair is naturally curly. I sense a tinge of jealousy on his part. My husband has made it clear many times that he does not like Al, but I also think he is jealous. I remember back when Al's Behind the Music first aired, and they were talking about Al's accordion playing skills. Hubby chimed in, "I used to play the accordion!" I do not know if this is true, but I just thought "Well, where is it now, smart guy?" *So mean!*
Fortunately, I think one of the big reasons my girlfriend liked me initially was because of my sense of humor (which much of it evolved from Al's music...) She always loves it when I whip out my guitar and sing her an Al song. In fact I bought her a White and Nerdy hoodie and she wears it everywhere. I have been slowly getting her all of Al's CDs and she has been memorizing the lyrics to them, so I'm pretty sure she likes him quite a bit. Actually, we are hoping to take a trip to the mainland this summer to go see some concerts. Ain't I lucky?
