Don't have one (wife made me shave it off years ago). I look far more relaxed in the photo however than I have been
in trying to work out how to post a non-Amazon photo to GMG Forum! (that is until your kind intervention  :))

Well, I'm glad to help out. Actually though, I was tangentially pointing out that ones mental aspect of how a person looks when one has no idea is strongly influenced by your avatar choice. Even though I knew that wasn't you, still, I had no other idea. It's an interesting phenomenon to me. :)  And Sara, of course, looks like Shostakovitch with gas pains.... :D

That's true! Avatar is of Miaskovsky - a great photo of him I think.  :)

I watched a documentary today about the dude in the painting.

Dürer, you mean. I ordered this exact - in tearms of measures - copy in Germany. The original is in Munich as you will know.  ;)

I thought Christo looked like this (left click to enlarge):

Actualy, RVW's portrait is there, in the picture, to the right in the back. It's a copy of the portrait of the composer at 85 by Gerald F. Kelly, a few months before his death:

If I didn't know you were Dutch before seeing you I'd have never guessed your nationality.  :D
Unmistakably Dutch (or at least of Germanic stock) for me would be something like this gentleman:

Any better, perhaps?  8) ;D :D

The only thing Dutch in the picture is that seemingly orange-colored speaking trumpet or whatever it is you hold in your right hand. Otherwise you still look Greek (and even Turkish) to me.  8) ;D :D

Nope. One more guess.

Ernest Scared Stupid....like the prequels, shoulda' never been made.

That's right! Haha...

I actually liked Ernest Saves Christmas and Ernest Goes To Jail. They're just stupid, thoughtless movies, but they're fun to watch on occasion. There are times when you're just tired and don't want to think, you know, and one of these crazy movies always helps me wind-down before sinking my teeth into something of more substance.
