Musician's hats

[Hurricane Jack]

Thinking about the loss of John Prine yesterday inevitably brought me around to wondering about Don Edwards. According to the 81 yr old's website he is well. Good to hear!

I haven't read all of the posts in this thread, and it may have been mentioned above, but there is a practical reason musicians wear hats: The overhead lights on a stage are bright. Bright enough that they can be distracting. A hat with a brim eliminates this distraction.

Marcus King...one of my favorite southern blues musicians loves em.

LOL, no pet possums, but I do have a big a$$ one in the backyard we see at night every so often. Does look like that Whippet I got though before resurrecting it......

Friday night I snuck out for a drive just about dark & things really were deserted. About that time Don Henley came on the radio with "Boys of Summer" which I have probably heard a million times, but the opening lyrics were never more apropos...

Nobody on the road
Nobody on the beach
I feel it in the air
The summer's out of reach
Empty lake, empty streets
The sun goes down alone...

Love Kenny Vaughan, HJ. He’s played with them all.

Haunting, HJ.

He really is underrated I think. With Marty Stuart they play some instrumentals to showcase him a bit, I think.

Haunting, HJ.

It's the frustrated songwriter in me that makes me notice fitting lyrics.

Not knowing where to post this TERRIFIC hat-wearing, cornet (trumpet?)-blowing, soft-shoeing, tap-dancing street-perfoming kid is named Gabriel Angelo...

He's from Oakland, but performs (mostly) in San Francisco...

So, have you seen him, @jlee562?

OMG!!
This kid is beyond amazing!!

I got to meet Mr Edwards a few years ago at Red Stegalls Cowboy Gathering. Both he and Mr. Stegall were very nice to visit with.
