    Well, as my friend William has so kindly pointed out, I'm already
    there! I can still handle the weight of my guitar for short
    periods of time - usually long enough to get up on stage and
    play a set - but there's not much I can do about the gray hairs.

    Psst, "Just For Men." Works for me, and the whole band.
    Makes us not quite look like the official OFC band.

    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.
