favourite BROTHER coiffs competition





there it is. my brother's new head, 

7 years of dread locks recently lopped for a cancer research fund raiser.

to all who have donated to the cause, our heartfelt thanks. 

many of you have been with us since the early days.

it means a lot that you stay in touch actively ...


i remember the day hamish began the dreads, 

at a college campus we were playing somewhere in the midwest,

after getting in depth advice from some local dreaded ladies.

much as he has loved the dreads,

i know he had thought about a shaved head for a long while,

waiting for the right reason to come. good reason.

and i'd say it's a good look for him.

he always did have more the soccer ball head.

i believe when i shave mine, some distant day hence,

 it will be rather more bizarre looking  ...


so the photo had me reflecting that over the years 

there have been many interesting heads of hair in the BROTHER camp.

i would like to see the quirkiest of them together.

to that end i initiate a competition -

what is your favourite BROTHER coiff?

was it bleach blond? spiked? long and wild? mohawk? touch of mullet? 

you name it.  let me know. better yet, send us a photo and a memory. 

to info@BROTHERmusic.com .

the best we will post, the very best we will reward mightily. 

prize yet to be determined.

i begin with one of mine. a relic from our days with paul mitchell.

this was at a hair show at caesar's palace in vegas. 

those heady days saw us finally stepping up in the fashion stakes,

in ensembles by alona hamoy, designer extraordinaire.

from plaid to leather and beyond ...




in other notable news my son turned one month on monday. 

and turned himself over to commemorate the occasion.

he also gave us his first big smile.

suffice to say he continues to make us very high and very happy.

  2. As I recall, weren't there also highly coloured, (and highly see through) plastic-ish kilts?

  4. I remember when the leather ones were stolen in Texas and the rather revealing show that followed (the boys literally played in their boxer briefs). Speaking of which I believe I have some commemorative photos of various coifs 14 years gives me much archival photos to go through :-)
