Wearing hats while playing; yes or no?

Just had a disturbing thought.... Didn’t Tiny Tim wear one too?.... Oh I hope not...

Not as far as I know. That would be a truly terrible thing if he did. Hat or no hat, I hope he’d come around here no more.

This is the kind of hat I usually wear on stage
Yeah, that's what I refer to as a driving cap. I have one in campbell plaid (Blue and Green) that I wore backwards on my head at a gig in 1997 and have worn it the same way ever since. By the way, I never wear any other cap backwards. Don't know what "inspired" me to do so with that cap.

@wisebass post above is what I understand is a driver's hat, Is this design, you idea of a driver's cap? I looked at the attachment, and not attached pic. They are very similar.

View attachment 2869130 Well, I found a reasonably decent hat in a closet I hadn’t looked in for a long time (no skeletons though :rolleyes:). I have absolutely no recollection of when or where I got it. Probably a thrift store. Looks better than I thought it would I think.
Looks good. Some black rimmed glasses or full-framed tort might go with it. Or shades! :) And even a 'stache! With the right outfit, I think you'll pull it off!

Shades definitely, because everyone looks better with shades on. I had a stache for 30 years but I had a consistent problem with dry skin underneath it so it went away. Too much grey there as well. I like the idea of a beard but they’re way too itchy.
 
They’re there, but I like to keep my hair as short as possible. I have let it grow out a bit now because it’s been cold. It must be a good 1/4” long now. It makes me feel like a hippie :cool:...hey man can you dig it?.
At least you still have your hair! :thumbsup:

Mine is usually 3"-4" long. Kinda layered. Kinda looks like snow on a dark roof.

I kept it short for decades. Since I still have people that love me at 64, I let it grow a bit.

See my avatar. That was just the beginning during that time.
