Trying to gather some content for a new website .. grueling!
I wanted to see how this photoshop creation looks on line ... colors could be better - I took snapshots from video images.

Eliminate the photos of the "old man", put in some generic cartoon logo and you'll have it made. To be honest, Dave, you really haven't changed a bit since I first met you many years ago. You looked old then, and you still look old!

Good luck old friend,

Gary

Looks a bit blurry to me not sharp at all....and I agree with Gary on the white bearded look a newer modern look is needed all around.
taking a pic of a pic isn't the way to go,....you need really good crisp digital pics have someone take them on a few gigs in action at all different angles then choose, & crop the best ones.
On a commercial website first impressions are everything.
Good Luck Dave

The beard stays.
The promo is a 4x6 card that will sit on the counter at the check-in desk at the restaurant - hardly a place for scrutiny.
It's also only going to be used for 3 more weeks.
And Donny - "newer modern look" ?? What - change my face? sorry - this is all I got.

Eliminate one of the pictures...otherwise, the promo is nicely done.

Asking you to shave your distinctive beard (or to dye it) is like asking Donny to try and lower his hairline by using a hairpiece ...it just wouldn't look very natural, and, it is your look, so why hide it?

As you say regarding the card, colors and lines could be sharper, but, overall, it is very professional looking.

We are who we are !!! ... Unfortunately, as we get older our looks tend to reflect that age, even though our energy, talent, quality of voice, etc. may not ...
This past weekend we had a small 'reunion' of sorts with two of the guys from the band in NY and their wives ... we were talking about how it is difficult to get some gigs because even though we may sound a lot younger, we 'look our age' and a lot of venues don't want the image of a 70+ year old guy entertaining their clientele ...

Sad Tony but very true.....
grey hairs......young crowds not a good mix.

grey hairs ?!? ... GREY HAIRS ?!? ... I'll take ANY color hair !!!

I wear a hat.

Hats are cool...gloves or mittens...not so.

LOL! Coming up on 71 and I still have the mop I had when those numbers are reversed. My favourite line in the hairdresser's when the girl remarks on my hair: "Yep, I know guys half my age who'd kill for this."

TonyM, I could Fedex some down to you.

Just my opinion but drop the picture on the right. Otherwise OK.

Tony, your so right. Really hit me here at the NJ Shore. Managers and owners who never heard me or seen me in action won't talk or return a call. Bad business sense but thats the way it is.

I'll be waiting !!! ....

I lost my hair while I was still in my 20's ... my barber wanted to make a toupee for me, but as much as I perspire without hair, I can't imagine what it would be like wearing a rug !!!

I've sent some CDs and get a call back that they are interested and to go in and meet with them ... when I do it usually ebds up with " thank you, we'll get back to you" ... which doesn't happen ...

I went topless in '04 and honestly, most people think I'm younger than my age (64). I liked my full head of salt and pepper hair, but when my alopecia took over it was easier to go bald than spotted.

I started shaving my head in my early 30's as I got more deeply involved in martial arts ...when I let it grow back in about 10 years ago, there was a whole lot more grey than I expected. So, off it came again, and at 65, I hope I at least look my age or a little younger...now, acting my age is a whole other issue...ha ha!

My motto is, "If'n I can't be young...at least I can be immature."

Ian

PS...Cassp...you definitely look younger than 64.

I don't know if people are just being kind to an old man or not, but usually people are quite surprised when I tell them I am 73 ... WAIT ... did I say I'm 73?!?

Tony...getting older is a plus...considering the alternative.

Having listened to some of your tunes, your voice has lots of character as well as sounding very good and on pitch...that character is due to your many years of experience (as well as mileage on those vocal cords).

I remember telling my neighbor I was 65...he said, that's young...if you are a tree!

Ian

Just go to the Rite Aide and get some of that just for Men Stuff in 5 mi. You will look 10 years younger and they have it for beards and mustache as well. The stuff works. I am younger then you guys. But I use it once in a while.

I went through a stage where I used it, but I really don't believe I was fooling anyone. Now they can take it or leave it. I can hide behind my hat and shades and it's hard to tell what's back there.

Old is old lets face it and enjoy life....nobody cares!

Tony Mads looked great with his minimal hair in Gary's basement.
His enthusiasm for playing shines through.
I've never seen DonM without the hat...and I don't think he owns a grey hat.
I like Uncle Dave's picture bottom left.
I've got a mop...but been clipping it short...the grey is ok with me except on my face.
Since the jam I took off the mustache and goatee. Did it make me look younger? No one
who sees me walking into a gig expects me to do rap or hip hop. But it's not all Sentimental
Journey either.
Eddie

Yea, but if you play the senior circuits they think you're at youngster well at 62 they think I am......some residents are as old as my mother, so I'm young enough to be their son.

Well, personally - I am not one for false impressions. I would never color my hair, wear a toupee, do a comb-over or any other ridiculous thing to change my appearance.
I'm old.(yet, still in my fifties!)
I'm bald, and what hair still grows wild on my chin is gloriously gray. Until I decide to shave for some reason other than visual impressions, I will enjoy that extra 3-5 minutes of "scrape-free" peace every morning.
My crowds have always been both younger and older than I, so there is no point in trying to look like anyone other than myself. The picture on the left was 2 years ago, the one on the right was this summer ... both will remind the clientele who is performing when they check in with the receptionist. It's serves a purpose .... to let the people know who's playing that night. It's not an album cover ... just a throwaway calling card for a few weeks.
Thanx for all the input.

Should I post my HS picture?????
Or, maybe my role as "Billis" in South Pacific??????
That was then - this is now, and never the two shall meet again.

You look lovely Dave...the grass skirt really does it as does your coconut bra.

Ian

See, Dave, I just know you're now regretting putting those old photos up.

Just wondering, but could you rotate those tassels in opposing directions at the same time?:):)

Actually - YES! That was the highlight of the number! I stole that show from the leads - my part was so funny, it was a snap. The ship painted on my (hairy) belly was done with red lipstick, and I was sweating so hard by the end of the number, I looked like I was in a motorcycle accident! I had such a ball in that show - funny, in about an hour, I'll be heading down the shore for my holiday weekend schedule, but first a stop for happy hour on my buddy's deck in Somers Point who was "Stewpot" in that same show with me! Reunion time!

dave sounds like a fun weekend gigging.....
Im off to a big BBQ PIG-ROAST Gig later also should be a blast.

Well, you'll be gigging ... I'll be "at work".

(always hated that word - I know, I know ... it's just me, the rest of the working population LOVES the term)

Gig is slang for a musical engagement in which musicians are hired[clarification needed]. Originally coined in the 1920s by jazz musicians,[1] the term, short for the word "engagement", now refers to any aspect of performing such as assisting with performance and attending musical performance. More broadly, the term "gigging" means having paid work, being employed.

Comes from the term "gig". It means you are moving from one gig to the next, singing along with each band for a few songs and then moving on. It's similar to clubbing, except the clubs are more likely to be coffee shops and there will probably be more singing and less dancing/drinking. Gigging is about experiencing the music and atmosphere of each venue. Tends to be more popular with people who enjoy jazz or "underground" music.

yada, yada, yada ... still hate the term.

"Tends to be more popular with people who enjoy jazz or "underground" music."

You mean BOTH people?

A job is something you hate to go to day after day...just sayin'

You are only as old as the woman you feel.

Ian

I have NEVER hated my job ... never. We're all just children who happened to grow older. (I didn't say "up"!)
