Nope.

Haven't cut it yet. It's getting pretty long. Yes, it's gray.

Might not cut it.

I'm starting to protest for more freedom again, too.

The pendulum swings again...

Last hair cut was 33 years ago to clean up for a job. Prior to that went for 20 years. So 1 haircut since I was 18. Haven’t shaved in 20.

I bought a WAHL set of clippers with the numbered cutting "rakes" and turned the wife loose-------she LOVES cutting my hair , wasn't a bit tentative, and does a decent job. I've got to back her off now, she wants to trim etc. she even bought a special set of hair cutting scissors and a barber cloth. I never would have thunk it!

I am finally getting a hair cut this morning after a couple of months without one. Hard to believe that I went about 4 years without one in the late 70s. Somehow I don't think the world needs yet another 60 something guy with a pony tail.

Except I don't own a Guild - and there's no way I could play a guitar with such a narrow nut!

I remember that look from the 70’s, I had it...mustache and all Woo-boy!
I look at old pictures of me like that.
Then I lost all my hair on top and shaved my head. Everyone was grateful.

I was in for a cut the day before the lock down and haven't had a cut since. I've used my Wahl to keep it off my ears. My wife, however is another matter entirely. She had gone au natural a while back. She has this glorious brassy blonde hair that is thick and gently wavy. Sometime in January she tripped over one of the dogs, fell on the porch, and broke her hand. She was unable to wash her hair over a period of six weeks so we sent her in to a salon to get it washed. The kind stylist asked if she'd like a trim to even things up and she agreed. Since then it has made up the length of the trim and far more.

Here is the original release and what a pivotal album it was , and the song kind of became an anthem for the summer of 1970.

And how spookily apropos the second verse is

I am kinda the opposite This was me circa 1971. Just before I cut it to be best man for my brothers wedding .




Once I discovered how having it short require no combing etc. I have kept it short ever since I now look something like this but another 20 years older

Can't remember when i had a haircut - in early March I think.
Not that concerned, apart from I've noticed that my head is growing through my hair at the top!

And in this corner, Rev Gary Davis with another story of a bad hair cut idea.



I'm still waiting on the hair-given kill-a-lion-with-my-bare-hands strength--after which, I could return to medium strings on some guitars again perhaps.

I had long hair to start with. Now it's well below my shoulders. I don't want to get the virus so I probably won't get a hair cut ever again.
