Protecting myself from the netherworld (Page 1 of 2)

I guess you will be protected from a unplesant death expieriance with it zurf.

That would be cool too see them. I would like too get a Indiana Jones,Fedora? Myself as I do not like baseball caps that much. All the one's I have seen were over $50.00. I could buy alot of guitar strings for that.

Having seen the Sir Zurfwalker collection of headwear attire last night, I can assure you that you are in for a treat (but do not say "tick, tock, tick tock...." to him )

PS Private joke...... so you will have to join the Skype jam to understand the last comment.

I'm going to let you in on a secret.  There is no lightbulb over my head.  That's a bright idea on the verge of formation. 

You'll have to ask Pete whether the hat thing applies to ladies too, but I think it doesn't.  I think it only applies to self-professed fans of strumming country tunes using cowboy chords, such as myself. 

Nevertheless, I am now prepared.

It was WAYNE!  Not Pete. 

Pete and Wayne have both been maligned.  My apologies to each of them. 

My new hat does not have mojo yet, but I will be working on putting some into it.  I have two hats with mojo, but they are both felt hats much too warm for Virginia spring or summer, especially inside.  One is a hunter green crusher fedora my sister decorated for me with scraps and buttons and such that all came from family items.  There's a big wooden button from my grandfather's work apron, some lace from my grandmother's wedding dress, a feather from a hawk that I scared accidentally while hiking with my sister, that sort of thing.  It is LOADED with three generations of mojo.  The other is a flat-top, flat-brim crusher I purchased for fall and winter hiking.  It is bright green with a purple hat band.  It is hideously distinctive.  My wife hates it.  I do not.  Its mojo comes from miles and miles and miles of trails and the experiences had with friends and nature while wearing it.  That hat once triggered an impromptu party on a rocky overlook of the Shenandoah River.  Now there's some hat mojo! 

The new hat is a medium-high crowned,  wide brimmed, crushable, breathable fedora with just the right amount of pucker on the front of the crown for a proper three-fingered grab.  Once on, the brim naturally forms itself into a nice bend over the ears the way a wide-brimmed fedora should.

this one is more summer weight being cotton and its 38 also.

just buy from the net, both the links are for online purchase.

To address your worries MKM.  First, guys actually like the ponytail through the ballcap look.  You aren't fooling anyone with it.  We know it means you didn't have time to "do" your hair.  We don't care.  It's cute.  Second, you'd look good in a proper sun hat.  Not all hats are for all people.  I see you with a straw hat with a large front brim wrapping around a bit on the side, or perhaps a bit floppy one made of raffia and a small crown.  But take Billie Joe (Chris' wife).  She wears that straw cowboy hat and it looks terrific on her, but I don't think that'd be your look.  Third, smiles work for everybody.  If you smile enough, you don't even have to hold a guitar.  You can just wiggle and bang a tambourine on your leg once in a while a la Josie and the Pussycats.

I like a Greek Fisherman's hat. Cool look and just enough bill to shade the eyes from the sun and still allow one to look up and adjust sails without rocking the hat back.

seems my hats all have paint on them,

Waddaya mean baseball caps don't count?  I've got over 40 in my closet (after giving more than 2 dozen to Goodwill 3 years ago) - I don't know how they accumulate, folks just give them to me.  In my neck of the woods there are just two kinds -  ball caps and "old man" hats.  If they're good enough for a lot of bluegrass pickers and guys like Hag and Willie (before they got old and started wearing "old man" hats), they're good enough for me.  If you wear any other type cap around my buddies you'll probably hear remarks about a new "sheriff wannabee" in town.......................

ha ha ha! 

Someday, my hair will be long enough to make a pontail (assuming no more haircuts from the kids).  I do need a sun hat.  I used to have one, but the kids ruined it.  I didn't wear it in public, but it was so comfy in the back yard.  Billie-Jo looks FANTASTIC in her cowgirl hat.  I think she'd look fantastic in anything though.    If I wasn't such a northerner, I would try to get away with it.  Having said that... I do actually own a plethora of winter hats that I wear all winter long.  I guess I do think I look good in those, although, I don't think they'd be appropriate for guitar playing in the summer.
