LOL boy the 80's...geez. Well, I did have my hair very long, but I had it cut like EVH's (well kindof..didn't have the money to make it look that good). I don't make my living as a musician though. I'm in the military and moonlight so to speak, as a musician. It's kindof good though because I go all over the world, so not only does it give me the chance to play in different countries/cities, but I have seen some amazing bands over the years.
