Just lost my brother. For some reason, I've let my hair grow out this year. All my siblings say I look just like him with this beard and freak flag flying. I was going to cut it. It DOES get in the way. But I feel like I owe it to someone. Thanks Dave. Love and miss you Ralph.

Effin' incredible. I have never seen such a perfect cover of a perfect song. Yes I have. When he performed it 9 years earlier (2008 Washington DC concert, I think) with a different but just as effective lead guitar break that demonstrated the wide range of techniques he had developed by the age of 21. What a talent!

Baseball player Magglio Ordonez (White Sox, Tigers), while an active player, grew his hair out - like Davy - and when a reporter asked him why he did it, he answered: "It's because that's who I am." I have hair like Davy and when people ask me why or even criticize me I answer the same: "It's who I am."
