Matt, you've just changed one of my standard life examples forever.

In an effort to teach my kids that trust isn't something you can appropriate across the board just because someone has been trustworthy in one way, I've told them:

"There are people that I'd trust with my wallet, but not with a secret...

People I'd trust with my car, but not with my wife... (etc)"

now I'm going to have to add:

"And there are musicians I'd trust to play my guitar... but not to adhere to the chord tones..."


Ba-boom! (tsh!)

;-)
