Will Fly, thanks for the link! Dunno if it's the beard or not, but I love your slower rendition of that wonderful old tune.:-)(Well, and the picker is quite attractive, too.:-)

I've always liked beards. MY dad always promised to grow one if his hair turned white. It did, he didn't..mostly because he was a welder all of his life and didn't have one for safety's sake and I think just was used to being bare-faced. That and he did a little welding almost up to the time he passed on. Curiously in the pix of my ancestors, on both sides, neither of my granddads had beards and but the great-granddads did.

How is it in your families, fellahs? A family tradition or one you've started?
