Do you have a beard, BobbyZ.
No t-p. It would be nice to have the option for an occasional change of image but whenever I have tried, the result has been rather an unsatisfactory straggly affair ! |

This is for the best BobbyZ. All (most) bearded men look alike (in my view).

 We forgot Rimsky-Korsakov. That Mussorgsky nose is very red. His eyes are still intelligent. |

While we're at it with these Russians, Glinka (very neat and tidy!):  |

Here's Charles Ives - one of the top 20th century composers. Don't spoil this by pointing out that the beard appeared after he composed most of his music.  |

Two composers we don't usually associate with a beard, but had one at certain points in their lives: Mahler Ravel (on the right) |

I thinking may be bearded composers outnumber not bearded ones. Some can be in both cathegories.
I could never understand what kind of a hat Glinka wearing. I never saw anything like that. Is is a turkish hat? Was it fashionable at a time? Did Mozart have one of those?

And one we do associate with a beard. Would you trust him with your motor-bike ? No doubt Sydney Grew can furnish us with the "low-down".  |

Ian Fantastic! Out of interest, who's the geezer on the left? That's Ricardo Viņes. The photograph was taken in 1905; it's included in Stuckenschmidt's book on Ravel. Ian (one-time beard wearer, but that's a long time ago  ) |

Not that it is of the slightest importance but just curious....is "By the hair of my chinny chin chin......." really a sticky topic ?
I think it became sticky when John moved some posts from 'New Musical Connections' (a sticky thread) to it. A sort of sticky inheritance. I would apreciate it if it could be made unsticky. But not the most urgent thing in the world...... Tommo |
