Reminds me (I'm VERY old!) of a Jimmy Durante radio show, in which Talulah Bankhead remarked, "I've know Jimmy Durante for many years, and he's always been 5' 8" tall"..... to which Jimmy replies, "5' 9" tall! These days, I'm wearing my hair in an upsweep!" Poor old Nige is getting old - I'm much older than he is, and still have all of my hair; poor lad!

Marvellous drawing of a great musician, Paul. You have a lovely gallery!
