Musician's hats

[Michael R.]

I must have seen Joe "King" Carrasco a dozen times in high school. First guy I ever saw "crowd surfing" in person. Still got some on vinyl tucked away somewhere.

He was and is Crazy , I'm sure . I don't know why I remember that Nut and his Crazy Songs .

My Man ... Loved : Live at Gruene Hall , and All the others ...

Thinking of Fuzzy Hats (Mm25 and Joao , and Larry Mahan). I beat he would be a barrel of laughs to hang with . Jerry Jeff Walker : Mr Bojangles , LA Freeway , I knew a Lady in Texas , Pickup Truck Song , and a whole bunch more than I can remember . I think of Gruene TX and Gruene Hall and Jerry Jeff , frontwards , backwards , and sideways . San Marcus I always think of George Strait , he kept his tour buses there , and I saw them pull in and him drive up in a Porche 911 , and his manager in another one , one was Black and the other Dark Green I think . I think it used to be a Phillips 66 Truck Stop , I believe , or a 76 , on the east side of I-35 . Loved Does Fort Worth Ever Cross Your Mind , and Amarillo By Morning , and about All of his , too . He played at Gruene Hall , also , along with just about everybody . That is one Cool Place , my personal Favorite .

Carrasco was fantastic! I saw him at a club once where, in the middle of a guitar break, he jumpled off the stage and walked across the table-tops from one end of the room to the other. His songs were also the kind you walked around singing to yourself for days on end. I was in the middle of a seminar at the university once and all I could think of was, "Taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, taco, taco!"

Knew I had one somewhere. Still smells like 30 year-old beer.

I was listening to music doing some outside chores this morning. I was listening to recordings of the band Legends, (1997 toured major jazz festivals in Europe and included Clapton and Sample). Great music! I was curious about the musicians and have been enjoying reading about Marcus Miller (best known for bass as well as sax/clarinet). Modern music streaming lacks liners or album notes and after looking for more info - lo and behold he is famous for his signature pork pie hat.

Got a bunch of hot jazz to listen to. Prolific musician and I have a lot to listen to.

Best, Eric -

Ever heard of David Olney, here with his sidekick Sergio Webb? A songwriter and performaer in his own right, Olney's songs have been covered by Emmylou Harris, Steve Young, Linda Rondstadt and many more. Plus, he's good friend and a hat lover

Jerusalem Tomorrow

Same song by Emmylou Harris

Nice looking western!

I was listening to some Americana music this morning. Paul Burch's sounds carried me thru my dog walk. Taking inspiration from Jimmy Rogers, Paul Burch has some great music on his new album - Meridian Rising. Low and behold he wears hats.
