Cool story. Mr Zed, what grade are you at playing the piano?

Cool story. Mr Zed, what grade are you at playing the piano?

The music that I buy/play is generally rated Intermediate or Moderately difficult.

the rating system is easy, moderately easy, intermediate, moderately difficult and advanced.

intermediate: greater variety of styles with an expanded range and more rhythmic and technical demands; accessible to most pianists; may require preparation time for some players.

Moderately difficult: More frequent use of octaves, runs, and arpeggios; longer arrangements in a wide range of styles, often with more complicated rhythms.

Perhaps he said nothing because he knew that it might then bring his hair loss in to question?

My friend has had thin hair since he was in his 20's.  He also works for one of the most conservative (in terms of dress code) companies in the US.  Knowing that, I wouldn't put him on the spot.

Just shows what a good guy you are!

Since I went full-time bald-by-choice 2 or 3 years ago it has never failed to amaze me about the total lack of comments about my bald head. A few harmless jokes from friends here and there but mostly nothing at all.

I agree KentBaldGuy.  I've been bald for over 8 years and after the first few days no one has ever commented.  Very mainstream these days.  Interestingly people often comment on dreadful combovers and obvious toupees.

So true here too, I was expecting when I went from a full head of hair not too short to shaved I would get a ton of feedback. There was some but really to be honest nothing negative at all like when you got a bad haircut or grew a beard . More mainstream for sure so it does not stand out.

Yesterday I ran into an old friend that I knew from a Vets org >10 years ago. He didn't recognize me w/o a ponytail...after explaining I mentioned it may be  time to mow whats left of his. We had a great reunion.

Let's do it right now, friend. I have my clippers in my back left pocket, my razor blade in the front right pocket and a trial size of Head Slick in my shirt pocket. Just sit down here and we can take care of your head!

Bald guys; always prepared for a head shave.

It's like you've become the combover police Zed, I like it!

When I read Zed's post I imagined shaving my friends head, then oil, shave soap and puttin' the cold steel to his dome...very funny, but I could do it.

if only it was easy to do so without offending people!

  Patience Grasshopper  they will come to the enlightament as we did. Or continue on the Journey of looking goofy.

I've noticed much of the same when it comes to reactions, or rather non-reactions. It's amazing how much we can build things up in our heads. Anticipation, fear and anxiety have roots that are imaginary. As more and more guys shave their heads, the fear and anxiety will continue to lose ground.

How true.  The other night I was watching a tele show , bidding on storage lockers.  Cool show but I would kick Hester's ass.  Yup he has went above and beyond with that crap!  But Barry bought a shed and found a Human head sculpered out of wood and in the back it had all these thing's in side of the head.

Cool, not sure what it was worth , but 6,000 but please do not quote me.  But I thought it is was cool due to the fact that each and everyone of us have things rolling .
