Friends are lamenting the death, from a heart attack, of Blair Lawhead, a professional violinist on Broadway who also ran a successful hair-replacement clinic. He was just 55.

From his website:

In 1989 Blair Lawhead came to New York City with a violin, a pair of scissors and a dream. Today, Blair Hair is being toasted by New York nightclub personalities and the Gay Press as a legendary part of the city’s lavender landscape and as much a part of queer culture as the Chelsea neighborhood in which the business is located.

A really useful service.

    Did he ever do AF of M President Ray Hair’s hair?

    Was he replacing it with bow hair?

    I am Blair’s brother. Blair Lawhead was a very special person. He helped others, and he inspired a subsequent generation of classical musicians from his hometown in Southern, Minnesota. There is a room dedicated to Blair in his high school music building. And, Blair’s legacy continues to inspire. The Blair Lawhead Concert has raised tens of thousands of dollars for the public school music program.
