Here's a pic I took this afternoon at work with my cellphone. Definitely not the greatest quality but... oh well! :) I'll have better pics soon...

Very nice tail! Sigh... someday my hair will be that long. =)
Hi James, This is about 2 years, 8 months of growth with no trims, cuts, etc. Hang in there and just let it grow and you should have no problems...

Not bad quality for a phone!!
Lookin good
Thanks, Kye. The phone is 1.3 megapixel. Not the greatest but I've seen a lot worse!

awesome. Somewhat similar to my own length aspirations. Are you a professional organist?
No. I'm a pipe organ technician. I just fixed and tune them. I play just enough pipe organ to get by! I am a professional jazz musician, though. I play bass [guitar and upright], guitar, keyboards, and vibes. As far as I know, I'm the only longhaired jazz musician around here! [San Jose, CA area]

I wish I had hair that long... its taking what seems like forever. Is that an organ you're playing? is it for a church?
You wouldn't happen to know of a gay friendly church in Vancouver would you?
What a great update Rick. Your hair is looking ever so fantastic! For many years I was also an Organist/Choir Director as well as Recitalist. But I am best known as a composer.
hehehe............are you trying to play one of the Bach Trio Sonatas? In collage those things drove me up a wall! Give me Franck, Widor, Vierne, Durufle and early Dupre any day.........but NOT Bach.........at least those 6 Trio Sonatas.
Great looking mane Rick!

Hi Rick,
That's some impressively long ponytail, looks in wonderful condition! (A guy in my golf foursome recently started growing his hair--has nearly identical hair type to yours--I know what he has to look forward to!) I was wondering if you are aiming for waist length? Congratulations, and keep it growing! (Also looking forward to your pictures with hair loose.)

Looks real good, Rick.

Hi Rick,
Your hair is looking superb, I like the colour and the textures it brings to your hair. The length is excelent too, wish my hair was as long as yours, although I dont think im far off. Keep growing it!!
Neil

Great looking hair mate - congrats!

Your ponytail is so sleek and looks great but the best photos have faces in them. Hair is nice but I like to see friends more. :-)
Excited more photos are on the way and a bit of a Rick groupie,

Wow Rick your hair is so long the tail goes out of the picture :) Looking good my friend! Rock on! (or in your case jazz :) )
Jazz on! Yeah... I sorta like that! :)

Typical...
A long-haired musician....
Great update, Rick. I look forward to the next set.
Cheers!

Your hair looks great! Keep it growing! The quality is good for a cameraphone; it's better than pictures I take with my cheap digital camera.
Thanks for showing off your organ; keep it growing.

Very impressive hair to say the least:)
Have you ever made trims to remove split ends or such?
High!
Cool hair... and a cool organ! Seems to have three manuals, looks like a large Johannus... what brand is it actually?
There are really way too few long-haired organists on this planet... even Jon Lord has lost his magnificent swamp gypsy mane!

Great update Rick , You're hair is truly sensational. you have attained such immaculate hair!
Thanks, Chris! I do a water rinse each day, shampoo it maybe twice a week, and use conditioner generally every other day. I finger comb it a lot during the day, also. Other than that, just letting in grow with no particular goal in mind.
