    Musician's hats

    I've seen photos of Screamin' Jay Hawkins offstage wearing hats (fedoras usually), but it seems he wore them mostly for effect while performing:

    Autumnal Thoughts........

    Must be nice. In this corner of the world the weather monkeys are still guesstimating mid-70s to mid-80s as the high temperatures for the next two weeks. It's better than being in the 90s or above, but...

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    I'm pretty sure age might eventually have an effect on analog clocks, i.e. a "traditional" clock with a printed face and hands, because some younger folk haven't learned how to read them. "But this digital clock has numbers!" :rolleyes:

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    It's the attention to details like this that keep we cap wearers coming back, and they create a loyal customer base for the company. Mine will probably be used mostly for casual wear, but I'm sure I wouldn't have a problem using it as a work cap for those distressing times when I *gasp* need to...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Yes, that time frame would explain it. My late wife was diagnosed with Early Onset Alzheimers in June of 2019, so my focus wasn't exactly on which new movies were opening. Thank you! BTW, I had an opportunity to watch the first 20-30 minutes of Resurrections, but something came up and I had...

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    Who can truly say why anyone does anything? With younger women it's probably because someone they admire did it, so they thought they'd give it a try. With older women...I don't know. Convenience? I've been told by a few older women that was the reason they began wearing their hair shorter...

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    Nice cap! You've convinced me that I should finally get one of my own, so with any luck I should receive mine during the first week of October. Or sooner...maybe...we'll see.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Same here, filled with distilled water because I have no idea what kinds of harmful chemicals the city is putting in the tap water. Soak the felt, shape it, set it aside brim down in an area of the house where the temperature is reasonably stable. Check the shape once in a while just to be...

    Vintage Things That Will NOT Disappear In Your Lifetime

    The name "Dixie Cups" has nothing to do with the American southeast. Originally named "Health Kup" because they were designed to be a single use item (i.e., drink from it, then throw it away), in late 1918 Hugh Moore (co-owner of the company that made the cups) decided to make their "Kup" stand...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I didn't know they had made a fourth movie; I might have to track that down. I liked the first one a lot, but it's sequels were nothing more than "action/adventure" cash grabs.

    Clean Jokes

    Having seen it, I think you made the right decision. I don't consider it obscene, but I do believe it's too "overly sexualized" for The Lounge.

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Okay, NOW I want to see it. :cool:

    Vintage neon signs

    ^ I'd like to have seen that one in it's prime, i.e. freshly painted and vibrant colors, neon or not.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    As of me looking it up a moment ago, a Sheqel is approximately 0.2629 of a US dollar. ;)

    I love the Fed IV!!

    If you do, I certainly hope your experience is similar to mine, because Akubra's Bluegrass Green immediately became one of my favorite colors. It looks great in photos, but even better in person.

    Fedoras afield

    The figure in the "Don't Walk" section of the sign is clearly based on David Byrne's "Stop Making Sense" suit: ;)

    What Hat Are You Wearing, But Struggle to In Public

    Line dancing makes me a two-stepper too. Two steps (and then some) towards the exit, that is. :)

    " The Great British Hat Makers "

    You know, if you get that brim under control and give it a "Gus" crease, you might be on to something here.

    What Cap Are You Wearing Today?

    I like it. A bit more "streamlined" than the "fuller" caps you mentioned, but I prefer that personally.
