Hatophile, what an ace picture! Thanks for posting.

different musician, still a good one.

And how! Compay Segundo and Ibrahim Ferrer together provided the harmonic and rhythmic foundation for the rest of the BSC, Compay on tres and guitar, Ibrahim on the piano. What a perfect match!

I haven't heard this one yet, I'm only a mild Rouse fan.

Randy,
It's good. I typically like his more upbeat music and this album is full of those kinds of songs. It would make good summer beach music.

Keith Richards should take notes from Neil Young.

For my money, Neil Young has the best body of work of any North American rock music artist. He's my current favorite. Emotional power near that of John Lennon; one of the continent's best lone-man singers along with Johnny Cash. I'm much more a Neil Young guy than a Dylan guy, even though I'm from Minnesota. What makes Neil my favorite? I like his songs a lot, but the most remarkable thing is that I hardly get tired of them playing over and over,for some reason. He has a quality that is "not annoying." I couldn't do that with anyone else's CDs. Oh, his hat's OK too.

Leon Redbone-

I don't know what hat that is, but it is wicked nice!

Yes, he does, always did, come to think of it. Now we're on the subject of Panama hats, Van Morrison wore a really nice one in concert about five years ago. The only one as good in the arena that I could see was my own, a Borsalino Montecristi from Village Hat Shop.

ZZ Top

I saw them perform on a show in recent years with Zebra striped western hats worn backwards...

looking for a Jack White photo for another thread, I came across this incredible photo of him. Wish they got the rest of the hat in the frame.
