Separated At Birth ?
My avatar is me. Dixon, my post wasn't so much aimed at you as Marc's original post which started the thread; it really is harsh. And as for me, my avatar's been talked to death in another thread, someone mentioned "Hank Williams Sr", I kinda like that. Although I was somewhat spooked with...- Cousin Hepcat

Share your favourite Jazz
AND, though a lot of people bash the r&b-tinged records he sometimes made in the early 50s, I think thats great stuff.... Man, from those Mercury sides he did with Johnny Otis, the stark loneliness of his huge tenor sound playing "stardust" in a DEEP echoing studio, with NO acompaniment other...- Cousin Hepcat

Judgment/Condemnation: Good or Bad? Discuss.
I'd say it totally depends on whether you're interfering with others' lives. But then that's probably due to the neighborhood where I grew up: everyone was pretty accepting of "different" people. Stomp on someone's new shoes though and you better know how to FIGHT or RUN lol Just being wierd...- Cousin Hepcat

A teeny thing 'counter-vintage' about you?
Great thread - well I for one had assumed when I found this board that most folks here into the clothes and all would be "strictly" vintage; good to see there's folks who appreciate both old And new.

A teeny thing 'counter-vintage' about you?
Neat post, since I'm currently struggling to make the vintage things I like fit in with the modern things I like. Unfortunately they seem so opposite! If I were in CA or NY where there were any significant number of folks I could "share the experience" with, I'd like to try going all out...- Cousin Hepcat

Who is your favorite style icon from the golden era?
Hey where's the "other" button on this poll? can't have a "best dressed" poll without any jazz musicians! :rolleyes: My first choice would be, as I've already PM'ed another lounge member, jazz pianist Thelonious Monk (in the 40s) - next choice would be Cary Grant. . Swing High...- Cousin Hepcat
