I look like Martin Mull, who I believe plays the banjo. But I only look like him when he is in his exceedlingly handsome (and not overweight)mode. Needless to say, we are also both accomplished artists as well, he with a paint brush and I with a camera!! (OOPS!! Where did that humility go? It was here a few minutes ago.)

Well here's one I DON'T resemble.....
Some friends were planning to go to a "stars in their eyes" karaoke (spit) evening & were deciding who could "be" which star.
Liz suggested that I could be Karen Carpenter. Stewart fell off his chair gasping that it was pushing it a bit for me to impersonate an anorexic! (too short&portly!)

I look like the Fred Astaire claymation character (the mailman) from the Christmas special "Santa Claus Is Coming To Town".

I think I look a bit like Leo Kottke, but unfortunately, I can't play the guitar like he can.

Twenty years and 40 pounds ago I looked like John Lennon. Now I look like Randy Newman without the grey hair. Not bad in either case!

Hey Little Hawk, no, I'm not Jive's sister. And I don't try to imitate Janis, that would be very diffcult, but what are you saying? That my singing wouldn't turn you on because I sound like her? Ha! Imagine that. And what would be wrong with sounding like Freddy Fender anyway? (Joking)
Peace, Rustic

Aw, jeez....

Not a one. The closest to celebrity look-a-like I come is a cross between Meredith Baxter and the lucky charms leprechaun.

I don't think I sound like anyone at all either. My voice is not very folky in it's sound, frankly. More operatic than truly folk.

Lifestyle...

heh!

My life is more normal than anything else. I work, I come home, I cook dinner, I hang out with the family, and I read a bedtime story more days than not.

Then again, I have the rare priveledge to climb a stage and sing for pay all year round too. I guess that makes me a bit of an aberration in both worlds, really.

Actually, Janis's singing "technique" (blowing your vocal chords all to hell) worked well for her. I just wouldn't want to sing that way myself, that's all. It feels painful even thinking about it. I doubt she could have kept it up much longer without doing permanent damage to her voice, had she stayed alive longer in the first place.

I used to focus on Dylan so much that I sounded a LOT like him (although he has a higher top end...the son of a gun could reach an A-flat on the top guitar string until maybe the early 90's, when he started losing the top end of his range). As time went by I retained some Dylan inflections here and there, but more and more found my own voice, which was definitely the way to go.

At the belt line, I look remarkably similar to Burl Ives.

Someone on Paltalk was kind enough to say that my singing reminded him (her?) of Utah Philips. I'm not sure if it was voice quality or style (s)he was referring to, but I took it as a HUGE compliment, and I said so.

Not surprisingly I don't look like any musician (and sure as hell don't sound like one). I used to say I looked like Michael Caine (if he were shorter and less slim) but noone else saw the resemblance!
Once on holiday a perfect stranger accosted us and said:"Are you Mr Barraclough?" Herself assumed they were talking about actor Brian Wilde (who played the wet screw by that name in "Porridge" and also Foggy in "Last of the Summer Wine"). She thinks I do look like Foggy when I'm out walking with my flat 'at and stick. On a bad day she thinks I'm more like "Compo".

I just did an open mic and was told I look like John Sebastian. I've been told I look like Christopher Reeve (sans wheelchair), Pierce Brosnan (must have been a good day for me), Chris Procter's publicity photo but not him, Tony Snow (Yeah, how does that mesh with the Brosnan?).

Actually two of my brothers and I look like we could be Taylors (or James, Liv et al could be Hardlys).

LOL, John. In the past I've been told I look like such diverse people as Katharine Hepburn, Maureen O'Hara, Debbie Reynolds, Noreen Corcoran (the niece on "Bachelor Father), and Bonnie Raitt. I figure my face must resemble a Rorschach Inkblot! *BG*
