Got my hair cut today ( and boy, did I need it) with a nice, pleasant girl doing the job, but our conversation consisted of her asking if that was okay and me responding "cut more off." No politics, no current events, and above all no history. The last time Joe cut my hair, a week or so before his final illness, he did more talking than barbering. He had recently located an old Byrd High School yearbook.
A barber shop is supposed to be a place of socializing. Can you see Floyd's barbershop on the Andy Griffith show without conversation? It was the center of town business and politics. Yes, I still miss Joe and I haven't found a barber like him yet.
