Lawrence Reeves Posted November 4, 2009 Author Posted November 4, 2009 Anytime Paul, just remember that comedy isn't always pretty.
John Wild Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 There are no tutorials currently online for how a ponytail is to be used when playing the concertina. In my opinion, fingers work better! Even if it was long enough, a ponytail would lack the strength of impact on hitting the buttons.
Leo Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I've got one. I use it like the horsies do. To keep the mosquitoes off the back of my neck in the summer time. (It looks like I'm just keeping time) After 35 years in an industry that demands a nice haircut, when I stopped working there, I finally thought who cares? Now when I walk around the house, my son hums "The old grey stud, he ain't what he used to be". Thanks Leo
malcolm clapp Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I can feel a poll coming on here.... MC (with ponytail)
Stephen Chambers Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I can feel a poll coming on here.... MC (with ponytail) I was rather hoping nobody would suggest that... SC (with ponytail)
Patrick King Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I can feel a poll coming on here.... MC (with ponytail) I was rather hoping nobody would suggest that... SC (with ponytail) I'm free; I have a normal hair-do! Yee-Haa! I'm not bold either
Stephen Chambers Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I'm not bold either You may not be bald, but I think you are bold (in the Irish sense)...
JimLucas Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 All these ponytails... do we have no members with pigtails? What about a duck's tail hairstyle (more commonly known as a "DA", but this is a family web site )? Or a pompadour? Well, here are a few more hare styles. ... ... ... ... ...
Anglo-Irishman Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Sure, there was hardly any decent Irish Music recordings made in the 1970s.... it wasn't until the 1980s.. or even 1990s when proper grooming came back into fashion that real ITM came back into fashion . Way before that, back in the 1960s, the music at the Queen's University Folk Club in Belfast was traditional, i.e. not ITM. We learned it from our elders, and passed it round among us, and sang it on social occasions. To keep ourselves in touch with our roots, the Committee would sometimes bring in old men from out west in Donegal to sing their traditional songs for us in their traditional way. Sartorially, their traditional way of singing was in a dark blue suit, with Fair Isle pullover and white shirt with collar and tie, and polished black shoes. There was seldom any hair to be seen under the cloth cap. (Anyone remember the term "short back and sides?") I suppose I'm as old now as they were then, but the lesson has stuck. I don't wear dark suits, but I do "dress up" for a gig, with a neat and tidy black shirt, trousers and shoes. The only flamboyance I allow myself - being neither bald nor pony-tailed - is a large, pewter belt buckle with Book-of-Kells-stlye intertwined birds on it. Those old men from Donegal sang in their Sunday best clothes. Being well-groomed demonstrates reverence for your music and your audience. And if you want to know why I wear black - the late Johnny Cash wrote a song about that! Cheers, John
LDT Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 (edited) You lot are bonkers.... I have bunches mainly platted and a alice-band or hat to keep my fringe out the way. <<< As can be seen to the left of this text in my avatar. Edited November 5, 2009 by LDT
JimLucas Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 You lot are bonkers.... Flattery will get you nowhere.
JimLucas Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 I thought I'd change my hairstyle, Get a make-the-folks-aware style, For short was out, and ponytails were in. But that's been past for forty years, And now it seems that no one cares, And it's easier to care for when it's trimmed.

JimLucas Posted November 5, 2009 Posted November 5, 2009 Well, here are a few more hare styles. ... ... ... ... ... Thanks for proving my point. None of them can play ITM worth a Darn . How do you know, Bill? You've seen them, but you haven't heard them. And when it comes to playing by ear, I'm sure they're a looonng way ahead of you.

Well I keep trying to listen to them play.. but every time I try to get close to them with a musical instrument, they run away. So, I think it is a reasonable assumption on my part that they are not good musicians. -- Bill
