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.

Just tell people that you’re twinsThe drummer wears a hat. He also has a shaved head, so he's pushed me right out of either schtick. Guess I'll just have to be beard guy.

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.
Hi Fender_BenderI just found out:

They are very similar.Yeah, that's what I refer to as a driving cap.

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). 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!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).

Side burns?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.
At least you still have your hair!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...hey man can you dig it?.
