Musician's hats

[Hurricane Jack]

Hey HJ.... that hat is a Texas Hatters, Lone Star Dude.
Willie also had a long hair version.

Jerry Jeff also wore one at times.
Willies hat has a shorter brim, the one I have is also the shorter brim style.

We went to a couple of the picnics. One was just north of Dallas-Fort Worth, around Grapevine I think. The other was down on the riverfront near the Arch in St. Louis.

Thanks for bringing that out Rusty. I'm a fan of the style.

As Charlene Darling says, "But Pa, that one makes you cry!" That is one of my very favorite songs, from any artist.

One of my favorites too.

Long before the days of Farm Aid there were Willie Nelson Family Picnic concerts & Willie wore this hat.

Same picnic or a different series?

1973. The poster is at auction with a $2000 - $5000 estimate (in case you need it in your garage).

Yes the same. I think it was over a couple yrs, maybe more. Some of the names changed from time to time. Tom T. Hall was not on the bill of the two we went to.

For $5K I could buy a lot of music!

Kenny Baker

Righteous fiddler right there. Wish I could find a pic of Wade Ray in a Stetson ; ) Those early RCA Willie records when he'd use Ernest Tubb's band w/ Wade, Leon Rhodes et al? Incredible.

Meanwhile, FUNKADELIC would regularly dare and call out specifically, "name" bands to get on the bill / share stage w/ them: "Let's take it to the stage, Sucker!" .. a terrifying prospect I bet. These guys not only had the tunes but they could sing and play their arses off.

Warren or Jimmy?

Both have lots of money.

 

[BobHufford]

Two-thirds of "Cream" ...

In case you haven't seen, Beware of Mr. Baker is a well made and really entertaining doc on Ginger!

Can't remember ...

I saw him at Winfield, KS and several other Oklahoma festivals some years back, often teaming with Dan Crary. He will be missed.

I saw him quite a few times with Dan Crary and John Hickman. They use to play at Calico, and Mojave Narrows Bluegrass festivals. Byron was a really nice guy.
