Dang, Thunderball, thanks for the link! So much for using the main computer this evening. (better speakers)
Man, I miss Stevie.

OK, OK, how about "Pinetop"
Light sage, pure beaver
5 3/4" crown, deep diamond crease
2 1/2" raw brim
Dark forest 19 ligne crown ribbon
If only I didn't already own so darned many hats!!! I love that pinetop, nice lid.
Believe it or not W4ASZ, he is soon up on the list but everyone in the industry that I talked to in Memphis just called him "Po Bob" so that's what his tribute hat will be called. I haven't conjured up the mental picture yet but as soon as it comes to me, it will happen.I'm headed down to the crossroads to see about a Robert Johnson. :eeek:
If Art made a Robert Johnson model, I might have to buy it just for the name. A Robert Johnson hat, in my mind's eye, would be a high-crowned city fedora, dark, almost black.
Actually, in his photo he wears a fedora, which I guess would have to be the model. Seeing it again on Google, it's a style that Alive n amplified would embrace--stingy, wide ribbon. I wouldn't go for that one for myself, but the high crown style might inspire Art to do a "line" of Robert Johnson hats--his genuine photo hat, but others in a 20s urban style.
I'm curious. Robert Johnson is kind of the epitome of pre-war country blues. Why would you envision a Robert Johnson hat in an urban style? Being a poor traveling bluesman I imagine he couldn't afford the latest in style?
