Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	Trying to gather some content for a new website .. grueling! I wanted to see how this photoshop creation looks on line ... colors could be better - I took snapshots from video images. Attachments _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum.

To be honest, Dave, you really haven't changed a bit since I first met you many years ago. You looked old then, and you still look old!

Dnj Senior Member Registered: 09/21/00 Posts: 43703	Looks a bit blurry to me not sharp at all....and I agree with Gary on the white bearded look a newer modern look is needed all around. taking a pic of a pic isn't the way to go,....you need really good crisp digital pics have someone take them on a few gigs in action at all different angles then choose, & crop the best ones. On a commercial website first impressions are everything. Good Luck Dave

Uncle Dave Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 12800 Loc: Penn Yan, NY	The beard stays. The promo is a 4x6 card that will sit on the counter at the check-in desk at the restaurant - hardly a place for scrutiny. It's also only going to be used for 3 more weeks. And Donny - "newer modern look" ?? What - change my face? sorry - this is all I got. _________________________ No longer monitoring this forum. Please visit www.daveboydmusic.com for contact info

Asking you to shave your distinctive beard (or to dye it) is like asking Donny to try and lower his hairline by using a hairpiece ...it just wouldn't look very natural, and, it is your look, so why hide it? As you say regarding the card, colors and lines could be sharper, but, overall, it is very professional looking.

Unfortunately, as we get older our looks tend to reflect that age, even though our energy, talent, quality of voice, etc. may not ... This past weekend we had a small 'reunion' of sorts with two of the guys from the band in NY and their wives ... we were talking about how it is difficult to get some gigs because even though we may sound a lot younger, we 'look our age' and a lot of venues don't want the image of a 70+ year old guy entertaining their clientele ... _________________________ t.
