Hair
Henry Moon
Guitar players seem to have always had a thing for hair and martial arts.
So, I was wondering; what length is your hair nowadays?
Since I'm BALD on top I've done the short buzz all around.
Instead of looking like a cool French spy, I look like an damn escapee!
Any of you still sporting the long hair/pony tail deal?
This, of course, being essential to our jazz playing...

I bagged the long hair about 10 years ago (24, had hair to my waist all
through my teens). I wear it buzzed on the sides and back and trimmed on
the top, a little longer in the front. I finally gave in not long ago to
vanity as well and started using "pomade" so I don't walk around with
pillow-head or bed-head or whatever they call it.
I was really excited when I saw your post because I happen to think the
music from the musical Hair, which is like second nature for many of us,
is good material for "new jazz standards". My friend and Portland
guitarist Christopher Woitach is the only one I've ever heard jazz a
tune from Hair. He picked the beautiful (and funny) piece Frank Mills
and worked like pb&j. Anyway, if someone doesn't beat me to it, I'm
gonna work up a whole set of Hair arrangements...

rock star I looked like anymore was Steven Stills.
I promised myself many years ago that I would never become one of those guys
with the ponytail and bald spot.
I really want to shave the dome and try for that gruvy French spy jazzster
look, but my wife won't let me do it.

discussion of the capture of Saddam Hussein. Although there was
consensus regarding Saddam's head on a pike, the only guy that
enthusiastically supported Bush's policy in Iraq was the young barber
cutting my hair. Turns out he was woefully ignorant regarding the
history of Iraq/US relations over the last thirty years. I took it upon
myself to gently educate him, and walked out of there with a buzz cut.
There's a moral to this story, I'm not sure what it is exactly, but I
think it goes something like: "Keep your big mouth shut!"

I'm with you , Henry, the lovely combination of bald and a buzz cut.
Geez, who IS that fat old guy and what's he doing in my mirror?
William C.
Have had shorter hair, this side of a marine cut, for years. Let it grow out
last year. Didn't comb it. Woke up in the morning and bumped it straight up.
A gal told me I had, "that just been phuqued look." Went with my then jobs
as door/bouncer (there's that martial arts component) and singer/git
slinger.
Today, it is back to just this side of a marine buzz cut. I'm not playing
out. I'm mellowing out.

I've still got my hair, but my face has fallen about a foot. I'd get a
facelift, but I'm afraid I'd have to unbutton my shirt to take a leak.
...but I probably wouldn't have to bend over to scratch my kneecaps, so maybe
it'd work out.

It is curly and doesn't look real long.
Or should I say it didn't.
I am blad on top but I wear a hat or beret when playing.
Just last week I was wakling past the barber shop and I saw an old
friend inside so I dropped in.
That was a mistake.
Before I knew it I was in the chair getting buzzed.
It reminded me of when I was in basic training in the Army.
Buzzzz! (big pile of curly hair on the floor) :-(
Now I'm told "It looks Good".
"You look your age".
Never again!
I have had my last haircut!!

Just essential to playing. I've had long hair since 1961 when my mother
bought clippers so she could save money and cut our hair cheap. Four
boys, it only made sense. It's longer now though, and greyer, er... loaded
with silver highlights. Since I was 12, in fact. I never really lost any so
it
still looks okay. I like to think it helps me connect with Paganini's guitar
side for inspiration. His stuff is nice but you really have to play it up to
tempo to get it to sound good. Also the Willie Nelson tie in is good,
"Night Life" is nice as a bluesy number to jazz up. I like the signature
I VIaug II-7 (or is that IV13) V13 turnaround.
I don't wear hats so people can tell I'm not one of those hatwearin' bald
spot ponytail guys and the long hair helps me receive lines from the ether
when I jam on Grateful Dead tunes with my younger friends.

I had long hair 'til I was about 29. These days I do the ultra short buzz too,
though being lazy by nature I let it grow for a week or two at a time.

Hi Andy,
Feels nice to discuss this in rmmgj, ain't?
The version I play and speak of is by Willie Nelson, and the
and the bass is going from C to A to D to G while the melody
on elec git over the quarter note triplets goes from e up to f down to
d up to e. That's C A+7 Dm G6 or 13 if you hear the 7th beneath which
I don't but some guys insist on it. The Ray Price version to which I assume
you refer runs from D to F7 to Bbmaj7 to Eb7b5 (the flat 5 being the
A in the melody on the pedal steel) and then back to the D. To my ear
the Willie Nelson signature turnaround is way nicer although simpler,
but I understand most people will want to hear the Ray Price which
doesn't have the stretch triplets while the steel on the Willie v. is
underneath doing some of the same things; chromatic triad up and then
down to a Dm with f on top making the final chord a G13 taking the
steel into account, but if the steel's volume was up it would be clashing
mightily with the lead guitar. Then again, the Don Judy "my memory
ain't what it used to be" disclaimer always applies unless I can find the
effin' record. I did find a live version of the Ray Price in with the Porter
Wagoner records which I wasn't as familiar with as I should be and I
now have that under the fingers too.
Best,
Don Judy

Unfortunately , my guitar playing has enjoyed the same level of
consistency. It is pretty much froppish, unstyled, undisciplined and
undistinguished.
Sigh.

"Blues is King". Great album. Just a searing version of Night Life,
complete with wrong notes from the bass man. I wish these kids today
could have heard B when he had that level of intensity!!

I don't even look like a musician. I look more like an audience
member. My hair is 75% whole and I sport a regular, business style
haircut - no real style to it, though.
I did do karate 25 years ago. Nowadays, I get vicarious thrills
watching re-runs of Walker Texas Ranger, espcially since it means I
don't have to lift my leg any higher except to rest one leg on the
other in sitting mode.
I have more hair on my chest and in my ears and nose than I ever did
when I was younger. I keep trying to coax it back to the top of my
head where it migrated from, but it doesn't listen to me.
I will say this - I have never dyed my hair --- too afraid the rest of
it will fall out.

the most remarkable performers around. I once saw him get standing
ovations at a bluegrass festival. I was sitting up close as usual and as
you probably know he had/has great facial expressions and body
movement besides the great guitar playing and masterful singing. The
next night I saw him again from about 200 feet away. Just as good.
The first guitar lick ever I stole was from the intro to How Blue You Can
Get, a single maybe on paramount. I've seen him recently and he's slowed
down quite a bit but the show was still transcendant.

look.
Cut it short and be real, I say. Few things gross me out more than
the Ben Franklin look, also currently known as a "skullet." Worse yet
when combined with a "soul patch" and goatee. In fact, if you're not
Dizzy Gillespie, please lose the soul patch (are you listening, Kurt
Elling?)

Hands down one of the best performances I've ever seen was BB at the
opening of his own club which happened to be his bday, played till
almost 4 and killed for every minute of it.
