Musician's hats

[Bob Roberts]

The Shelter People which were mostly studio musicians came after two albums released in 1968-1970 timeframe with Marc Benno on guitar as the Asylum Choir.

Thx!

Looks like some ORs and maybe some new Strats in there. I like their style and their music!

John is a super talent

I used to see those guys in small clubs in the late 80s and early 90s ... they were from around my way

I'm sure a lot of people got tired of hearing them after they had a couple hits in the mid to late 90s ... but I'll tell you what ... that dude is super gifted

back in the day he would straight up perform packing a sidearm ... but he would have so many accessories hanging from him you couldn't really tell ... until you looked close and were like .... oh $#!t John's comin heavy ... and I don't mean his weight

Haven't had the privilege of seeing him in person but I really enjoy his music & performing via video. He definitely has talent & the energy to go with it.

Well these days, he's half the man he was, and that's a good thing. I've seen them twice, the first time w/ the Stones.

you're busting out all the Jersey cats lately ...

Clarence and Popper may not have been born in Jersey ... but they will always be Jersey cats to me

In honor of the day, I'll include this here. Best arrangement of this traditional Irish song, I think. Happy St. Patrick's all. Drink some "juice of the barley" & remember those who came before you.

I love Jerry's hat. Almost don't recognize him without the beard.

 

[Frunobulax]

Jerry w/o a beard is indeed an unusual sight. And w/o a black t-shirt is even more rare, at least all the time I saw him.

And now for the Irish entry of Whiskey in The Jar

I can't see how Phil would ever get a hat over that 'fro, though!

And the sweater. You probably have that in a closet, somewhere.

Ha, I wish
