What lid, what a LOOK, Moon!
I have a copy of that same photo of Mr. Krupa. His version of "China Boy" was one of my all-time favorites featuring some amazing stick-work.

Gene was the king ... he brought us to the forefront

Hard to beat an AB, J!

Nice blue Gannon, Daniele. As it happens I'm on a trip to work at our New Hampshire office for a week with my version from Michael

Cheers!

Thx for clarifying. Now I'm hungry!

I could go back for more... More food and hat pics likely in the next few days, since the hat will be the same!

Stetson 20 mode edge. Certainly not crimson and white but bone and rust is as close as I can get in my collection. It's become my game day hat, until the Tide loses, that is.

Here's to hoping the red elephants roll.

Ok loungers, I'm selling my Stylemaster. After much thought and consideration I just don't seem to like it on me. I'm also posting it on the for sale section. It's in great shape, trying to get 75.00 for it. Regency Fawn size 59

Hey everyone!
Nice show of hats today. It's sunny and warm here on the NorCal coast, so I'm opting for comfort in this Pantropic Panama.

Have a great day!

Gene was the king ... he brought us to the forefront

Indeed he DID! Started here, (reputedly) in the first drum breakaway EVER in Carnegie Hall, January 16, 1938. After a slow start to "Don't Be That Way," (they were the first jazz concert ever held in the Classic venue, and Benny Goodman felt somewhat reserved and began with a bit too slow count) about halfway through the number Gene did a momentary break out, and the young crowd went bonkers, which of course called for more. Later playing "Sing Sing Sing," and closing the concert with "China Boy." A total of 23 numbers were played that night and changed Carnegie Hall (and Popular music) forever!

The links above are from the original concert! I still own the entire (3 volumes) concert on vinyl, purchased in 1970. Preparing today's post, I saw an Ebay offer of volume 2 (only) for $205. Still got it!!!

Fantastic, Tommy. That's a nice one!
Glad to see you posting. Its been a while.

ETSY purchase from DaQuino Hats for roughly $80 shipped from Portugal. THE GODFATHER.

Great design. Round all the way versus a homburg which lifts upwards on the sides. My only complaint is the quality of felt. Tag says rabbit. I would have preferred a decent wool felt like a Baileys. I plan on emailing the hat maker to see if she has more options.

Hey wait a minute.....why is Al Pacino ( my avatar ) copying my style !
