Ginger Baker, Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce.

Blind Faith

One of the highlights of seeing live music for me was a Clapton/Winwood show I saw several years ago in Columbus, OH. Closest thing to Blind Faith I'll ever get.

While not all of his hats where as stylish as the above example (even if it isn't a homburg), he will be very much missed. It's him on the left in the pic below. See the homburg nation thread for a link to a youtube clip with him sporting a homburg whilst playing the song.

Seldom seen in a hat. Maybe because he has a nice head of hair ... not Marty Stewart nice, but not requiring a hat as a cover anyway.

With Bobby Osborne.

The poster artist sees him in a hat though ...
