I generally wear dress pants or freshly-washed and creased jeans (unfaded), plaid shirt and solid tie or solid shirt and plaid tie, polished leather boots (I don't allow sneakers on stage with me) and a fedora hat. I do this primarily because I feel that it shows the respect I feel for the tradition in which I'm performing, and also because folks usually dress fairly nicely to attend our concerts. The folks from whom I learned much of my music thought enough of the music to dress acceptably when performing it onstage, and I feel obligated to do the same. I realize that this attitude brands me as an anachronistic old curmudgeon; I can live with that, too.
