I bought a hat

[Clarky72]

Bought myself a Marcus Miller style pork pie hat. The perfect cure for the onset of thinning hair and bright stage lights.

[discreet]

Mmmm, pork pie. Arrrgggglle. Pics please, or there's no hat.

We don't believe you.

[Clarky72]

Damn. Can’t post a pic on mobile. Its like I’m lying. Oh the shame of it all...

[Clarky72]

Oh hang on...

[Clarky72]

So far it hasn’t given me the magic skill of Mr Miller but I’m sure it will.

I made the mistake if buying a flat cap. Instant Victor Meldrew.

All I can say is....on your own head be it.

That's quite obviously PhotoShopped. It's not even the right way up!

[Clarky72]

Haha. That is perfectly obvious as soon as you see me!!

Does buying a Marcus Miller hat to cover the onset of baldness make you a slap head?

In the time-honoured tradition, I'll get my coat.......

We have a rule in our band, more of a law actually. No hats and no waistcoats. Nothing screams "Late middle aged rocker" more than those two items. And yes I am 65, and bald.

[mentalextra]

Will it be worn at a 'jaunty' angle?

+1, so true

If you play double bass it's compulsory to wear a hat!

Nice waistcoat, though!

If that's fat, I'm in trouble.

[mr zed]

And playing a short scale 6 string bass too - well done sir. Most folks of a certain age are traditionalists.

What if it's an electric double bass? Can I get away without the hat?

You [b]are[/b] in trouble, but not because of [b]that[/b], cos [b]that[/b] is Robbie Fripp and it's me who's fat and 61.

Then you're allowed to have a mullet instead.
