Nice. Could never do CSN but the Byrds are one of my all time faves. Somewhere I saw a quote of him talking about that hat—it was a Borsalino fedora that he telescoped and curled the sides to give it a more western look.
Emmylou can wear a hat well also!
Brownie McGhee came to New Zealand when he was 78 years old. I was at university in a relatively small town, so you can imagine my surprise when I saw the poster for his concert at the local opera house (not sure if they ever had an opera there). This broke university student somehow managed to scrape together enough cash to get a ticket.
Can you tell me more about where you found the photo?
On Traces of Texas' Twitter feed. I was searching for a hat store's history and ran across it.

I vaguely remember that, was it around 1985?. I was at Massey in the mid 80’s.Brownie McGhee came to New Zealand when he was 78 years old.

He was magnificent! I still have the poster.
