Here's a little good ole-timey bluegrass, served with nice head-adornments: David Holt in a great TAR - O'Connor in his then black, short-brimmed signature fedora - Hartford dressed in bowler and great humor - Jerry Douglas with a pony-tail - and Mr. Rice with his ... well ... errhhhh ... beaver-tail :D
Enjoy ... ;)
Nice pikin n grinnin! And country harmonies. I do believe Mr Rices' beavertail mighta been a mullet prototype...

Wow! Back in 58 they knew how to make non-obstructive wind screens! The copper wire around that nice old Neumann mic definitely won't distort anything :D

In some circles, Minnie Pearl's hat is even more famous - here on display at The Ryman Auditorium:

I like Mingus's Billy Jack hat for sure.
I like Lester Young's before he porkpied it.
Just now reading the History of Jazz by Ken Burns, great book and some great hats in there and in the videos.

I have that 10 DVD set Ken Burns doc

I like it ... although some like to call it ... The History of Jazz according to Wynton Marsalis and Stanley Crouch ;)

... he does tend to leave out some important information

I'm sure it's been mentioned before, but here's another plug for the Decemberists. I'm listening to their EP Florasongs now. Some of the most poetic lyrics of any band I've ever had the pleasure of listening to.
