Two things strike me about this clip of Ben Crenshaw, Tom Doak and Bill Coore discussing their project at Streamsong.
Firstly, the three bar stools in the middle of nowhere approach doesn't really suit this genre. Am I the only one who keeps expecting the three of them suddenly to produce microphones and break into a Rat Pack number?
Secondly, and more intriguingly, just what is going on with Ben Crenshaw's hair? Not that there's anything wrong with the extravagant flow to his greying mane; it's just that this was a man whom I remember being strictly short-back-and-sides during his playing career.
Could it be that the more luxuriant tonsorial approach is a natural extension to his creative line of work these days? And what on earth would Harvey Penick have made of it?
Watch this space. I feel a cravat coming on...
