    Hello

    After some time lurking and reading (and almost always learning and being amused by what I read) it seems time to join the party. Greetings!

    That's the spirit, welcome - from un barbu à un autre. Like your signature text
    "...the isle is full of noises,
    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          Welcome, from un autre barbu - you will naturally gravitate to the jazz forum... ?

            A lot of us about - welcome from yet another - in this case an EM enthusiast.

            A beard tax was introduced in Britain in 1535 under Henry VIII. The amount collected by the monarch increased with the beard grower’s standing in society – making facial hair a status symbol. The tax was dropped but was later reintroduced by Henry’s daughter Queen Elizabeth I, who felt that any beard with more than two weeks' worth of growth had to be taxed.

            I wonder how they measured it....

                Many thanks for the welcomes. The beard is far from blue, was once a sable silvered but is now a Father Christmas white.

                    lurking is a suggest avoiding observation you now that to never suspected a jazz singer might be lurking behind the meat suit,It was the trap, ever the trap,and to drop to each drop to read

                      There's no arguing with that.

                      Welcome, Harryleo.
