I wear glasses most of the time - the exceptions are for when I go out socially and when I play football when I wear my contact lenses (hmm, quite a lot then...).
I don't know what it's like elsewhere but my lenses cost more than the frames. I bought some Armani and Police glasses and whilst the frames cost circa £150 each, then Nikon lenses cost over £200 Mind you if I used normal lenses I'd be like Mr Magoo.
Someone should post a picture of Elvis without glasses (as in the alternate video of The Only Flame in Town).
Maybe he's broken the other glasses which were the only frame in town. I thank you as I leave the room to raptuous applause
Don't like working in glasses, so contact lenses only there unless badlly hungover. Eyes get tired in the evening, so glasses then, and I tend to wear them all weekend. The nice thing about lense is taking them out in the evening and giving your eyes a second chance at the day.
-6.25 in one eye and -5.75 in the other, and astigmatic. You? Best thing last year was that the astigmatism finally got bad enbough to warrant correction in the contact lense, and now I can see almost perfectly with them.

The Clifford Brown and Max Roach CD I have is called (appropriately enough) Clifford Brown and Max Roach, and it's on the Verve label. First track is "Delilah." Is that the one you have?
Nice call on Bill Evans.

The one I have is a two-disc Verve set called Alone Together.
I could post a 1970s photo of Bill Evans - what a "before and after" that would be.
Ah, what the hell - here you go. The ravages of cocaine abuse I suppose:
How 'bout my main man Richard Hawley? He ain't so young and he's not especially easy on the eyes, but he is friends with Jarvis Cocker and might well be able to introduce Miss Buenos Aires to her teenage heartthrob:

Oh, and:
Interesting use of smaller top hi-hat, I don't believe I've ever seen that before. I wonder what made him do that. Sadly don't know enough about Roach (although I've always enjoyed his name!), where to start?
Would you recommend LASIK surgery? A friend who had it put me off for life by describing it in close detail, but I could be tempted. The contact lens routine is auto-pilot for me, but I wouldn't mind dropping it. And the sensation of waking in the night and being able to see properly must be fun!
