Vidal Sassoon & the Slapheads

..... It was a 'Eureka' moment... an idea that sprung forth on a gig one Saturday night in March 2008.... About 11 bars into Iain Dixon's solo on Donald Fagen's "Walk Between the Raindrops" I couldn't help but notice quite how aesthetically beautiful and expansive his forehead was.... and that was when I was looking at him from the back! However I simultaneously caught a glimpse of my own slapheaded beauty reflecting on his shiny bonce, like a swan gazing proudly at its own reflection. I then went on to wonder whether in fact Iain's better-than-average sax playing had something to do with his hairlessness, and taking into account my own immense musical talents, a pattern started to emerge. Perhaps there were several other exponents of baldy brilliance? Does baldness confer onto us evolutionary advantages over the more hairy species? Do we possess stronger genes, or are we just more talented than them? There was only one way to find out.... create a BALD SUPERBAND, and a myspace network for us to communicate with each other over the world wide web. So, I urge you to audition for "Vidal Sassoon & the Alopecians" by requesting myspace friendship together with a high-res photo to confirm hopefully low follicular density.(I'm only sorry that my girlfriend Laura, the other musician on the gig that Saturday, doesn't qualify to join the band, although I will be cutting her hair next week ........... as she sleeps).
