    Lyrics to an old spooky song

    Well, I tried Googling the lyrics and came up with "I sleep with one eye open and one foot on the floor" as part of the lyrics to Shamey Shamey Shamey by Billy Gilman. The second part of your lyrics about room thirteen aren't in that song though. I've had no luck finding a song with references...

    This sort of thing makes me furious...

    On a similar note, I was trying to show a friend of mine vintage advertisements for a Zenith Cobramatic phonograph I have. We were looking on Google, and I ran across photos of a phonograph like the one I have that had been converted into a computer, with the with the turntable for the record...

    I'm sorry to hear that. May he rest in peace, and may his family find peace.

    fur felt in hot weather?

    I can't wear fur felt all year around. I don't know if I'm just sensitive to the heat, but generally once the temperature reaches the mid 70's (and definitely by 80 degrees), I have to go to straw fedoras or linen caps. All in all, I get about six months out of each year to wear fur felts, and...

    Mobile Phones?

    I have had this thought on occasion, although I won't let it worry me. It's too easy to come up with things to worry about if you let your mind run wild. As for cell phone use, I don't have a land line anymore, so the cell is all I have. I don't let it control me though, and generally only...

    Detective hats

    I never saw the TV series, but have several of the radio show episodes starring Bob Bailey, as mentioned previously in this thread.

    Detective hats

    I can definitely relate to detectives being an influence in my hat choices. I've been influenced by characters portrayed by Humphrey Bogart, Dick Powell, and others. I was also influenced by the detective video game series Tex Murphy in regards to fedoras. I love old time radio shows. My...

    Young loungers

    I wouldn't say I get a serious case of sticker shock. I guess I figure hats are like any other product: you can spend as much on them as you want to. The most I have spent on a hat has been on my VS custom, although that was a special purchase for me. I don't spend much on hats, although I...

    Vintage professions you'd like to see come back.....

    I agree! I'd like to see the art deco designs come back into appliances and products as a whole. I miss the retro look that was apparent in anything from cars to radios, watches, and other appliances.

    Young loungers

    There are definitely more members of the younger generations that are into vintage than you would first think. Look hard enough, or just visit this forum, and you can find vintage lovers of all ages.

    "Has the economic situation put a crimp in your style?"

    The only difficulty I've had is getting into a decent-paying entry level job. I got my degree at the end of 2008, and after struggling with trying to find a job, and then a minimal paying full-time security job, I've gotten into the government entry-level, although part time. I don't have any...

    The Cap Faction

    Congrats on your Hat People cap, Neophyte!!! That one looks really cool, and looks good on you. I agree that Hat People make the coolest liners for their hats. I get the impression that they all look unique.

    I recruited one.

    That's cool, FMW. I have gotten a few others interested in hats, but do not know for sure if they really followed through and found their fedora after seeing mine. The only exception I know of is one of my best friends, who was never a hat owner, but fell in love with one of my flat caps. I...

    How Do You Wear Your Hat?

    I wear mine pretty much straight and level, although I do put it at an angle on occasion.
