Subject: RE: What does a mudcateer look like? (truth opt)
Well, I look forward to Bill D's photos. I think he caught me trying out some slide guitar licks in a workshop.

I am 5' 9" and 330 lbs. (Should I be Big Roger?). I sport a moustache and goatee. I wear glasses. They've been tri-focals for a few years (couldn't read the CD packages anymore, arms too short). The glasses, beard and moustache serve to hide my gloriously round face so I am not mistaken for a full moon (forget the wisecrack, Art).

Brown hair, just to the ears. I've gotten a little gray on the sides and my beard is more salt than pepper. Hazel eyes. I smile a good deal and thanks to my dentist it looks like I have all of my teeth.

I have been blessed with a long body and with short arms and legs (inseam 27). This causes me to hold my guitar close to my neck so I can get my arms around to the strings (reminiscent of early New Lost City Ramblers).

The grayer I get, the more I remind people of Burl Ives.

My clothing of choice runs to T-shirts, jeans, and athletic shoes. I am old enough to refer to them as dungarees and sneakers.
