Musician's hats

[Hurricane Jack]

OK Jack, I think this is a more difficult one. I certainly wouldn’t have got it, and I don’t think I’ve heard of the non-hat wearer on the right before.
Good luck.

I think you got me, Gary. And I went all in with my $.07 cents. The jacket worn by the harp player looks 1960’s British Invasion type stuff?

Here’s a hint for you. No reading the comments section.

And the answer was…Big Walter Horton.

I searched, and it looks like the only mentions of Thelonious Monk no longer have active photos, so here's the cover of Monk's Music. The hat, the style, the cool.

Okay, he wasn’t really a hat guy and I know he’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but Lou Reed has, more than any other artist, provided the soundtrack for my life (and still does).

He died this day in 2013. He’s the only celebrity whose death ever drew a tear from my eye.

And they allow you to influence young minds. I’m fearful for the youth of Japan, Shoe. Doo do doo.

Yep. Love that one.

Ha! Way back before I got my private school job, I used to travel around teaching at several different public schools - a different school each day. At one of the schools, a home room teacher had heard I liked blues music. He asked me (in front of his primary school class) who my favourite band was, expecting me to say a blues band. I said The Velvet Underground, thinking he wouldn’t know them. Well, he jumped around the classroom excitedly before turning to the kids and saying something like “You know, The Velvet Underground! The banana album! Heroin!”. He had a record player in his classroom (surely my memory is failing me and it was a CD player) and often played them that album. Now, I doubt he explained the meaning of Heroin or I’m Waiting for my Man or Venus in Furs etc, but even I would think twice about playing it to a bunch of 10 year olds.
I’m just imagining mums saying “so what did you learn at school today, Kenji?”

For another ten points…This one also popped up on my Facebook page. I’m a big fan of this guy and I love the way he’s rocking that Homburg, too.

I'm pretty sure that's Hubert Sumlin. He played with both Muddy and the Wolf.

Welcome to the lounge!
And yes, he did play with both of them, but much more well known for his work with the Wolf. He only played with Muddy for a short while.

The next one from my Facebook page is far too easy…

I suspect this one will be too easy, too, but for 10 points, here you go.…
