    How Did You Discover Old Time Radio?

    I live in the DC area and WAMU (NPR) is a local station. I listened to the re-broadcasts of radio shows quite a bit in college and some in high school. Also, one of my roommates in college had a bunch of old radio show on cassette tapes. I think he had quite a few of the Groucho Marx "You...

    A Difficult Decision to Make

    I'm with everyone else - don't change it. Once I found out (based on everyone's comments) that the stitched band on the Stetson Sovereign that I recently won was rare I decided to keep it. Kind of made me look at it in a new light. Barry

    The American Abroad - How to polish up the image?

    I was in Vegas last January and on the return flight I experienced a pretty upsetting incident. I took off my shoes and a leg brace that I wear and put them in a plastic tray for the X-Ray machine. The brace is over a foot long, slips in my shoe, runs up behind my leg. It straps underneath my...

    I won a Stetson Sovereign last night

    It's a 7 3/4 - I think with some felt padding behind the sweatband this should be fine. The total was $91.00 including shipping. Brim: 2.75 inches Crown: 4.75 inches This hat is one its way to Art already. I'm probably going to ask him to select a nice grosgrain ribbon to replace the...

    Your Favorite Sandwiches?

    schwarma I love schwarma and felafel sandwiches. There is a VA'AD Kosher market about 20 minutes from my place. They've got the real deal as far as "Israeli style" schwarma goes. I get mine loaded up with veggies and 3 kinds of schug (a Yemenite style hot sauce). They've got green, red...

    80s Punks / 00s Fedorans

    That's pretty cool. I remember going to see the Special Beat (I think that's who they were at the time) at the 930 club in DC. This must have been 1990. Ranks up there with one of the best shows I have ever seen. I did miss the recent tour with Dave Wakeling and I'm kicking myself for...

    80s Punks / 00s Fedorans

    I saw Radio Birdman just a couple of weeks ago. It was their 7th show in the USA - not 7th this year/tour but 7th total. They were heavily influnced by the MC5 and the Stooges. I had a great time listening to the "oldies" (their word not mine) and the new songs as well. I cannot say that I...

    Aero FQHH Black Highwayman 42-Standard

    I am thinking about selling my Highwayman and I will entertain offers. I will most likely use the funds towards another Aero Jacket - a Barnstormer. This jacket is in great shape. It is broken in just a little bit so it's not quite as stiff as a new Aero FQHH jacket. The zipper was replaced...

    Think you're man enough to handle a BarnStormer flyboy...? No wimps allowed!!

    I just saw this picture the other day - man it's great. I might wind up selling my Highwayman and getting one of these "shearling lined." Barry

    MADE IN AMERICA????????

    Volvo S40 T5 (2005) I am partial to Volvo. During my senior year in high school someone in a Ford Escort ran a red light and hit my mom's Volvo station wagon. My mom's car flipped over and the fire department used the jaws of life to get my mom out of the car. Of course they put her in a...

    I just recieved a great comment about my hat...

    I was out in Arlington, Va at a popular Italian deli today. I was wearing an old beater fedora and my Aero Cossack jacket. A guy came up to the table I was sitting at and stared at me for about 10 seconds. All the sudden he says "I LOVE YOUR LOOK!! TOTALLY LOVE IT!! The jacket... the hat...

    Polishing spectator shoes

    Neutral polish is an option (for those worried about transferring polish over) according to the shoe store owner in my neighborhood. He said that he uses a number of very small daubers, brushes, etc. when he polishes spectators. He runs one of the best shoe store / repair shop operations in the...

    Where were you on 9/11/2001?

    I was at work in Herndon, VA. I went downstairs in our building to get a snack from the cafeteria and the room was packed - everyone was watching the TV montiors. I drove back to my home in Washignton, DC later that day. Before I crossed the Key Bridge I was stopped by two police officers. As...

    Toothpowder Question

    Well, I certainly don't use it. It's foul stuff - I tossed it after one use. How about Marvis Toothpaste (from Italy and not a powder)? It contains Flouride but as far as I know it's not ADA approved. Barry

    Toothpowder Question

    Black Monkey is still around. It's pretty gross, IMHO. I picked some up when I was shopping for spices at an Indian market. You can find it at smallflower.com. Barry

    Jury Duty

    I was in for jury duty on the 29th of August. I was called for the first panel and then when we were out in the hallway the clerk said "I have good news. You can leave for the day." I also might not have been selected anyway based on who I was working for at the time. Barry

    Lining for Aero Highwayman

    The Highwayman with the alpaca lining is nice and warm in the winter here in DC. I also have a Cossack with the drill cloth and while I haven't worn it in the winter I have already worn it twice on cooler / rainy days without getting overheated. Barry
