    No, I don't think today is the day.

    And it will be possible to have this thread hosted backstage at a tour stop. What a great idea.

    Smitty, most importantly, is officially the "Band Barber". He is very good at it, especially with a number 4 guard.

    And on occasion even Ed and Boom let him trim their locks.

    I have photographic evidence that leads me to believe that JTR has been backstage at a PJ show at least once in his lifetime. :D

    BTW, JTR, my wife, the lovely Daystar143, says you and I look a lot a like from behind.
