Yeah... I'm aware of it. I actually kind of like the way my hair is
turning, though. Hey, at least I still *have* some hair left (unlike
most of the guys I play with, who may or may not be named William!)
Anyway, the worst part is my beard, which is really grey! But if I
want to take ten years off for any reason, I can just lose the beard
for a while. ;-)
To paraphrase Robert Hunter, 'Oh well a touch of grey kind of suits
me anyway. That was all I had to say and it's alright. I will get by'.
(...from "A Touch of Grey", by the Grateful Dead.)
Damn, that could almost be my theme song! Pretty amusing lyrics.
I really like Garcia's solo on it, too! Simple, but melodic.
Martin
