Location: big island | i've got two or three "giddy-giddies". you know, those natural parts in the hair that you are born with. the crown of my head resembles a battlefield as these parts never worked together except for when my hair was shoulder length and longer back in the 70's. so i got a bad case of breakfast hair that lasts through lunch and dinner unless i gel it up real good. i cannot wear hats during our gigs as the prescribed attire is black slacks, black shoes and a nice aloha shirt. sunglasses are allowed. i do wear the occasional ball cap in video clips when the hair is too embarrassing to wear at that moment. and i have a nice filipino style slogger hat to wear outdoors in the garden.

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | My ex had a great bald spot. When someone did something nice for him, he's say "My hat's off to you. Hell, my HAIR'S off to you too."
Lot's of people wear cowboy hats out here. What worries me more though, is the belt buckles that are so big, a guy would cut himself in half if he bent over. I actually had a pair of cowboy boots. Wore them most of my life because I ride horses. When the disco-cowboy craze started back in the 70's I stopped wearing them for fear I would be mistaken for some John Travolta fan. |

I was kind of a "Freak Roper"
my hat size is 7 and 5/8 aka melonhead/large and when it comes to caps the one size fits all does not apply.

But I guess unless you grow up wearing them, they tend to be more trouble than they're worth. I switched to ball caps. Never even CONSIDERED the boots. |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | I wear a baseball hat when we're playing outside (my Irish great-grandma's genes have left me vulnerable to sunburn...and skin cancer); I wore a cowboy hat when I was playing warm-up music for a play set on a farm, but, since I'm usually inside, I don't wear a hat when playing.
And...for the record...although it's not unusual for 55-year-old female-folks to still have a full head of hair, there aren't any gray ones yet. (Many thanks to my mom and dad, who both started graying in their sixties.)

Location: 6 String Ranch | I used to wear a cowboy hat, but I wasn't playing out then. Used to wear boots all the time for about 15 years. Gave it up in Florida but I'll still wear them in the winter months. They just look real funny with shorts.
Now to the question, at performance class Vance Gilbert, the instructor said, take off the hats and glasses, it ties you in more with the audience. Now if the hat or glasses are a part of "your personna" or part of what you want to project then do it. |

Location: Round Rock, TX | I started wearing cowboy boots (and hat and [small-buckle] belt) when my wife and I started cowboy dancing. Now, I wear a cowboy hat when I perform outside. Nothing's better for keeping the sun off my bald head and my not-quite-bald ears. I have recently started wearing boots for performance, too. I would rather wear crocs, but I have big feet and boots make it easier to work my pedals. |
