Thread Name: What do you wear when you perform?
Subject: RE: What do you wear when you perform?
I've always been attracted to vintage clothes. The old lines caught my eye right off while rummaging through garage sales and thrift stores in my youth. I still fancy old threads, though they are harder to come by now that so many seek them out. I don't search as much as I used to but still enjoy a dated look even if it's just a great old tie. There was a time when my entire look was all comprised of vintage fashion and lately I've been trying to recapture more of that in my performances. I don't know, maybe it's a mid-life Crysler thing. I just whacked off most of my twenty years of hair growth to try the look I had just after I gradgiated frum colleg again. I figure twenty years or so is long enough maybe it's time to try something new, er, old. I enjoy the chance to get a little gussied up for a gig no matter how casual the setting might otherwise be. The old music I play seems to fit well with the old clothes, they're both just a reflection of what I enjoy. Someone I knew long ago said, "it's not the clothes, it's who's inside'em."
