I'll see what I can do for you next time I get down to the library...I don't make it there too often. -

Share your favourite Jazz
If we're talking drummers now, Big Sid Catlett is the one for me. Such a gentle touch for such a big guy. He propels the beat in the groove, without overpowering the rest of the band, better than anyone I've heard. -
The REAL gangster look
The pants all seem longer than I would expect. There is quite a bit of break. Also, I will admit that being associated with a gangster when wearing a suit is a pet peeve of mine. There are plenty of other types of people who wore suits over the last 100 years. I can't imagine gangsters... -
cold weather hats
I just picked up a Stormy Kroner at an Army & Navy Surplus store for $25...all sizes & colors in stock. I'm really liking it, and we've been quite cold in Milwaukee...highs below zero for much of the week. -

Questions: 1930s-40s music: classical? mood? French? Latin?
I was thinking Hawaiian music as well...Sol Hoopii is my favorite. Also look at calypso from the '40s. Check out Lord Invader & Macbeth the Great. -
Edward Green Shoes
I'm going to pretend that shoes this nice do not even exist. I will go on convincing myself that my Allen Edmonds are the best shoes made on earth. To be honest, I would feel strange even looking at, let alone talking to somebody about, shoes that I know I will never afford. As if I didn't...- kools

houndstooth suit?

Men or Women Alike, We Collect Shoes
When I was much younger, I had a conversation with an "older" musician with worldwide recognition but not the accompanying financial rewards. It was the first time I met him, and my awe led me to asking question after question about music & such. The only thing I remember from the conversation...- kools

Vintage shopping in Chicago?
It's been years since I've looked for clothes in Chicago. I used to shop quite a bit in the Wrigleyville part of town. I am, however, spending a weekend in Chicago in February & hope to get a chance to get in some clothes hunting.- kools

These are all quite impressive. Each of you would be guaranteed to make a good first impression with me. Shooman: Is there a thread where you discuss your thoughts & philosophies on shoe care? I've seen small fragments, but I'd love to see all thoughts in one place.- kools
