Last night I went out to a Karaoke bar (originally with NO intention to sing at all; but eventually the guy sitting next to me kept nudging me until I caved in, so I sang the old Merle Haggard C&W classic, "BIG CITY" - lol).
After finishing the song, this guy comes up to me and says out-of-the-blue, "Great job -- and I just LOVE your extensions!"
Rather than try to correct him that my long hair was actually 100% real, growing totally out of my own scalp, I simply said, "Thanks!" Hey, people are going to believe whatever they want to believe, right? And since I've not trimmed my facial hair in a long time either, maybe he thought my beard had extensions, too! (LOL)

Hi Ken,
Sounds like you had a fun time especially doing that spontaneous gig ;)I'm sure you did the song justice so too bad it wasn't recorded for youtube or something.Glad you got out and had yourself a good time.Strange comment about your hair.Why on earth would he think you had extensions? Of well maybe the guy had a tad too much happy juice ;) LOL Cheers

LOL, maybe so, Mark! Before leaving the house to go out to the Karaoke place, I had just done a "Water-wash only"; then walked several blocks before arriving there... I tied my hair back before walking into the bar (just a regular ponytail), but I had also given the ends a couple of extra twists, to give the bottom some extra body and a bit of curl; so maybe it turned out "too" curly? I didn't have a mirror with me, just was winging it; but anyway, I got a kick out of the comment!
I'm so looking forward to your visit out West soon, Mark, it will be a great time, as always!
Off to work now....

My husband frequently has people meeting him and explaining who they are, when it is I that can't recognize people. When I was treasurer of a club we both belonged to, people were often giving him money. Maybe the guy was confusing you and your partner? It's common for people to mix members of a couple up.

LOL, that's a great story! But in my case, nobody knew me in this bar -- the only "regular" bar I ever hang out in is Sundance Saloon, where I go C&W dancing, which is at the totally opposite end of town... Go figure!
Anyway, looking forward to getting together w/ you & Larry next week, and it will be great to see Mr. Hairball again!!
Off to work now....

Hi Ken,
And all this time I thought you had extensions! Just kidding my friend! Glad you had a good time and did Merle proud! But you are right, people will believe what they want! Thanks for posting this funny story!
