I don't have a Greek fisherman's cap. Nor do I have a porkpie, a beret, or a newsboy. I also don't have a Panama hat, a fedora, a Stetson or a pith helmet.

What I do have are baseball caps. Lots of 'em. I wear 'em pretty much any time I'm outside because the hair on top of my head abdicated several years ago and sunburned scalps are unpleasant. I also wear them when I'm indoors if there are bright lights which may cause reflected glare from my head to blind other people.

My cap collection is of a motley nature. Most of them are "freebies" or "gimmes" with the exceptions of a few that have been purchased at folk festivals. The ones bearing blatant advertising slogans are reserved for non-public wear. A Miller Lite cap is fine for gardening, but I won't wear it in public. Not only do I no longer drink, but even when I did I wouldn't drink that swill.

When I'm not wearing a particular cap, one of my instrument cases is. I keep my guitars, banjos etc. lined up against a wall in their cases and each case is wearing a baseball cap. They frequently fight over who gets to wear which cap. Just the other day the D-28 and the J-45 got into an argument over who would get to wear the "Friends of Florida Folk" cap. The Gibson won, leaving the Martin wearing a bright jungle-print thing with "MFS" embroidered on it. I have no idea what "MFS" stands for, having found the cap floating in the intracoastal waterway.

By the way, though commonly referred to as "baseball caps", none of my caps actually bears the logo of a baseball organization and, to the best of my knowledge, none have been worn in actual baseball games.

So, what are your headwear preferences?
