Thread Name: Why are folkies scruffy
Subject: RE: Why are folkies scruffy
Hehehehe. Well, the old saying is actually correct... Clothes DO make the man (person).

I went to another city a while back to a headhunter firm for "management testing" (read psychological head game tests) for a job I applied for. I wore a nice grey sweater over a red golf shirt and (new) black pants, and, of course, big hulkin work boots. Hey... it was a three hour drive. But, I looked good, I THOUGHT!!

I guess not, though. When I arrived at the hotel here in town for the formal interview with the big brass (apparentley, they didn't find anything in the psych tests), the 2IC from the headhunter's office did not recognize me in a brand new suit, shirt and tie, picked out for me by the "nicest" chap at the store I bought it at three days before the interview.

Now, what has that got to do with folikes? SFA, really. Clothes may make the man (person), but, the music is the man (person).

Of course, I've seldom seen a whore without makeup. Nothing like a coat of paint to spruce up an old barn. Whitewas is better than no wash.... help me out, eh... I am running out of old folk sayings.
