It makes me think of Robert Mitchum, Richard Widmark, or even Bogart. It has been all over the Lounge today and I've loved every image.

Thanks, Red.
It was a movie called "Red Skies Over Montana" with Richard Widmark that started my hat obsession a few years ago. I liked the one he was wearing and tried to get something close. A couple hundred hats later and I'm still trying!

Some hatter's apprentice working for tips?

 

[Bigger Don]

That would be John Bonham, Elvin Jones, Keith Moon, Tony Williams, Clyde Stubblefield & Stewart Copeland

Barnes is fine

Barnes is fine

I just brought him up because I went to HS with him and he's probably the only semi-name I knew from back then...unless you include an admiral and a parish priest.

Besides that, he's a jazz drummer. Wouldn't expect you to list him as an influence. Some evening when we're swapping stories I'll tell you about the great prank I played on him...and he never figured out who it was.
