Hats With Musical Instruments

[humanshoes]

Nice bowler, and exceptional photo! The banjolele is beautiful! The birds eye neck is gorgeous! Repurposed plate is awesome. Some old time string band music will probably sound great on it.

Thanks DD. Part of the cost of this instrument was a promise from the young lady to learn "12th Street Rag" and play it for me. An old man always needs something to look forward to.

A hat and a harp. Sometimes that's all you need.

Big Walter Horton would've definitely agreed with you.

As would my fav musician/artist Don Van Vliet. I’ve seen Captain Beefheart (stage/band name) mentioned a couple times on the FL, but for any others uninitiated, and love the blues harp, I strongly recommend Mirror Man. He was rarely without a hat on or near, but is as out there as they come, a truly unique individual.

As an Australian I really appreciate the didgeridoo. Nice

My didgeridoo is right at home with my 1952 Dunkerly Ltd. "Akubra" Aussie slouch hat. I've spent many hours trying to learn to play this simple, beautiful instrument and, as my neighbors and friends will all attest, I've managed to make some gawdawful noises with the damn thing.

Been a pipe smoker since I was a young man Jack. Bought my first good pipe, a Savinelli, forty five years ago for forty bucks. It was all the money I had in the world. Since then I've lost houses, cars, jobs, girlfriends, and a couple wives, but I still have the pipe. Hah!

Me too, since college. But so were my dad, my grandfather, a couple of uncles on both sides of the family. My grandfather had a sister-in-law who would smoke a small pipe of an evening. As a young kid I was fascinated watching her smoke her pipe on the front porch.

I dated a woman once who smoked a Dunhill lady's cocktail pipe. Those who think a woman can't pull it off need to rethink.

Those are some real beauties!!!

We were thinking in opposite directions, Rick. I though you would post a pic of that new anvil with a hat on it. That's about the only instrument I can play

I have a slouch as well, it is too small for me though I do display it at times. Alphonse rocks it.

No shame in that game Randy. If you can play the anvil, then here's a great new opportunity for you.

Looks good Mike. I've always liked the style of these hats.

The iconic Australian Army slouch hat!

Don't tell anyone but we stole the design from the Cape Town police in South Africa during the Boer War.
