Can't Play Music anymore

One of the unfortunate results of the pandemic is no more music playing for me. I was in the process of starting a new band with another group of oldsters, playing old 60s music with a smattering of 60's oriented later music. (My previous attempt at a new wave band fizzled.) But the music is loud it can't be played outdoors, and playing and singing indoors is out. So this is on hold for now. I'd enjoy finding a singing partner to do vocal duets like the Everly Brothers and Louvin Brothers did. I have used Garageband to record me doing both parts. It's fun but when I listen closely I hear lots of off-key notes.

Shaggy Hair

As barber shops have been closed since March, I have been without a haircut since the end of February. I am starting to look like a 70s baseball player when I wear a hat. No mustache though. Actually, my barber will be closed for awhile as he had some major medical issues two years ago.  I will need to go to his competitor until my guy is back, if he ever is. One of the problems I have with longer hair is that it falls down over my forehead and gives me a Ted Koppel look. I have dreams every once in awhile in which I have my college length long hair again. I am afraid that if I did that again all of the grey hair I have, which to this point has been restricted to parts of the body no one can see, will show up. The ravages of aging. 😢
