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.

Location: Vernon CT | I know one member who wears what I classify as a Cowboy hat, but, if he won't come forward, I won't tell. As for me at age 52 something strange is going on. I have a FULL head of Naturally brown hair with a strand or 2 of gray. Sorry guys :D :D :D |

No-one will admit to wearing a cowboy hat then ? Sure. When I first started with a country band I wore one to keep the damn lights out of my eyes. 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. |
