Are you joking? Doc Watson….

I didn't recognize his younger self. I'm used to old Doc.

Bill may have started it, but these boys made it a genre all its own.

Kenny Wayne Shepherd used to wear some decent looking hats but recently has gone to the Fouquet look when he wears one.

Got to see him with various artists on the Experience Hendrix tour.

Pretty darn good Voodoo Child, Jack.
Bet that was quite the experience!
Thanks

KWS is obviously too young to have met Hendrix but he did say in an interview that as a kid he got to meet & play with SRV. I’ve tried to find video of that, if one exists.

Orianthi is pretty good at Voodoo Child. Some of her hats are pretty good but some are just floppy hats.

Popa Chubby is great at playing anything Hendrix but he doesn’t wear hats.

I first became aware of KW when I saw him live at Huntsville's outdoor music fest, Big Spring Jam in 98. Literally stumbled by his stage, not knowing who he was, after leaving Sister Hazel's set. He wasn't singing much at all then but could wear it out. Didn't miss a song. No hat.

Frank Sinatra--probably from the time of his first great success with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra in the early 1940s. Pretty sure he's wearing one of the then new-to-the-market Stetson Stratoliners and you can even catch a glimpse of the Stratoliner pin just over the brim.

Shorty Medlocke (though not black) was one of the inspirations for Curtis Loew. He's pictured with his grandson Rickey & Blackfoot. Shorty also wrote "Train, Train", a major hit for Blackfoot
