Thread Name: Hair- on your head not the musical!
Subject: RE: Hair- on your head not the musical!
Gee, I thought Banjo Bonnie's question was legit. :>) I mean, "Hair - on your head" could be on the scalp, on the ears, in the ears, in the nose, or a moustache or beard. Well, I'm making a perhaps dangerous assumption that people wouldn't cultivate extravagant eyebrows or lashes. Speaking of hair, I had a chance to catch Vince Martin live last night. His scalp is bright and shiny on top, but with mostly gray and wispy shoulder-length hair on the sides and back. He made lots of jokes about it. He gets around with the aid of a walker, but seems to be of high spirits (natural as far as I know). Said he was having a hip replacement come September so he wouldn't have to use the walker anymore. The funniest thing was his new Beltone hearing aids. They kept buzzing on him, loud enough that the microphones picked it up, and he must have tried to adjust the damned things 50 times during the show. He's now living in Virginia and has a year-old granddaughter. Aside from describing himself as a twenty-year old stuck in a sixty-year old body, his best line of teh evening was : "Kids teach you about mortality, but grandkids teach you about immortality." It was an enjoyable evening indeed.
