Hayes Carll sounds a lot like what’s his name.
Oh yeah. The great John Prine, who doffed his hat to the late Steve Goodman.
Talk backwards, and have a great weekend, folks.

1967 High School Girls
Hat Molds
I’m guessing they’re wooden, and some appear to be from the 1920s, perhaps earlier.
I don’t know a lot about hats, except that early makers of felt hats used mercury in the process, and the accumulation of that metal in their systems eventually affected their mental stability, resulting in the phrase “Mad as a hatter.”
Originally, cowboy hats and others were functional rather than a fashion statement. Brims were flat, designed to shade the sun and drain the rain, but once movies came about, the sides of the brims were turned up to show the actor’s faces. I suppose the crease in the top kept water from flowing off the sides and toward the back.
The side “dent” is a mystery, unless it was where a man grabbed it just before saying,
“Well, helloooo, ladies.”

Saturday Matinee – Shovels & Rope, Richard & Linda Thompson, & Postmodern Jukebox
Shovels and Rope have a nice country sound – with dawgs. They’re a husband and wife team.
They remind me a little of Richard and Linda Thompson.
That song is one of my all-time favorites for unknown reasons, and we’ve posted at least one other version before.
On the other hand, these folks crack me up because they’re so talented and so spot on. Here’s another great hit from PostModern Jukebox.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow for more pasta and butter.
Chastity Suit?
Jaqueline Gadsden (aka Jane Daly) on the set of “The Mysterious Island“ in 1929. Although it was a silent movie (one of the last), it was filmed in color (one of the first).

Saturday Matinee – Holton Rower’s Paint Spills, Jack Broadbent & Floyd Jones
Interesting artsy spilly painty project [via].
Awesome slide by Jack Broadbent on the streets of Amsterdam in 2014 with a cover of Canned Heat’s “On The Road Again.”
“On The Road Again” was penned by the late Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson and Floyd Jones. Wilson died of a barbiturate overdose in 1970 at the age of 27, within a few weeks of the similar drug-related deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin. So what about Floyd Jones? Let’s hear him.
Here’s Floyd Jones‘ “Stockyard Blues” with his own commentary.
Have a great weekend, folks. See you back here tomorrow.
