Subject: folk fashion
I hope I'm not rehashing old ground here. If so, I'm sorry. If not, please accept my thanks for contributing. If I've addressed this before (oh-oh, deja-vu coming on), you'll know I'm loosing the fight.

The short questions...What clothing do you like to see folk performers wear? Why? When?

The longer comment...I sometimes get the feeling that I should "dress up" for gigs. Other times I don't. Jeans and a t-shirt? Dress pants, collarless shirt and vest? Something black? Something unusual? Phil Cooper (of Cooper Nelson and Early, and sometime contributor hereto) has great loose fitting shirts, and someone else I can't remember (I AM loosing the fight) likes something the audience WON'T remember. Some fellow musicians insist that the performers style/fashion should remain the same. I'd like to afford "gig clothes" and maybe if I had 'em I'd get more gigs. Should I care?

Your thoughts?

Thanks. Peace, Mooh.

P.S. Oh, I think I've talked about this before...but when?
