Musician's hats

Mose Allison

strangely I learned of Mose via the Who playing Young Man Blues

 

[moontheloon]

A few of the Jazz Greats who are always sharp dressers...
Roy Haynes used to always be on Esquire Magazine's 10 Best dressed list aswell as on their Favorite Jazz Musician List: View attachment 67275

on of the greatest ever

Roy is one of the rare greats who never learned rudiments or any of the conventional drumming foundational methods ... just played music

his ride cymbal sound on Now He Sings Now He Sobs is something I still chase ... as do many drummers

John Henry Bonham (1948 - 1980)

Bonzo = Thunder

my very first and still greatest inspiration

no human before or since could drop that delayed greasy back beat hammer like Bonzo

if I could be surrounded by speakers playing the When the Levee Breaks intro on repeat 24/7 I most certainly would

I've been listening to them a lot lately as I convalesce & for me it would be Kashmir followed by Stairway...

I could never tire of Zeppelin ... I absolutely love everything they have ever touched

where I feel they have no weak material ... in my opinion Presence is the least strong record ... and their most complete and strongest record is the 4th what became known as "Zoso"

although Houses of the Holy will always have my heart

but if I had to pick one tune .. gun to my head ... Out on the Tiles off III
just so killer

all of those records are so implanted and imprinted in my brain that I do not even have to put them on to hear them

Don't know if you have seen Jason's solo from last yr or not. Be sure & watch thru to the end for some home movies of him & his dad.

yeah i've seen it ... Jason is a good guy and always tributes his father well

he sounds absolutely nothing like him on the kit ... but carries the name well

His kick is tomorrow his back beat is yesterday

Highway Queen don't need no King!

She's wearing a nice big brimmed Stetson.

I prefer the early days - as much as I dig them, the silliness gets in the way of the music for me sometime - so good thing I listen to them mostly on vinyl still. Their Eliminator Tour was my first legit rock concert and even then I didn't like their direction as much as their first several albums. The Legs video was sure something at the time, but the sound was too pop for me. Anyhow, back on track with some hats:

Wow! Two shots of Billy hatless. The funny thing is it looks like he couldn't even grow a full beard in one of those photos.

I can't see the pix , so I'll throw some up . I like the pre-Eliminator stuff myself .

The First Album was the Best , but Fandango , and Tres Hombres were killers , also .
