Cab Calloway was one hep cat!

In the Blues Bros movie, he sported a stingy, like the rest of the band. But check out that wide blue ribbon.

Here is his grandson, Chris Calloway Brooks. Not only is he also a bandleader, he's sporting a pretty nice lid!

Here is another of Mick Fleetwood. I believe the hat is by Nick Fouquet.

That looks like a Fouquet hat, nice colors.
Boy, Mick is racking up the years (I guess we all are).

He's been wearing that hat & a couple others in same shape on The Voice. Not sure I care for the partial brim binding....

Little Jimmy Dickens, RIP. I'm guessing that's a Nudie suit he's wearing.

This isn't my usual style of music, but I love these guys. Last year they did a couple of gigs near us, but I was out of town all week and missed them. I bet they are great live.

A couple of great string players. Stephan did some work with mandolinist David Grisman that's fun to hear.
