Title: Sparkly caps Post by: Dr Monk on October 24, 2006, 07:01:43 AM Hi Peggy,
What is the origin of the sparkly caps that you have often sported on stage at Croppers? Are they made specially? Always by the same person? I am sure there must be a story behind this! Title: Sparkly caps Post by: clive on October 24, 2006, 10:08:58 AM I very nearly caught one he frisbeed off the stage at one of my first Cropredys. Just got a hand to it but it span out and went behind.
Title: Sparkly caps Post by: peggy on October 25, 2006, 09:08:47 AM Hi. I found the hats in a shop in Carnac, Brittany which unfortunately no longer exists.( The shop that is, Carnac is still there!) I have one left, so unless I find another source next years Crops will be the last flying hat year. I dunno why I first started throwing them intro the crowd, could have been after a joyous gig, or too much 6x perhaps.I have met some people who were overjoyed to catch them. It's risky as you get older and it worrys me that it might get thrown back!! cheers, Peggy

Title: Sparkly caps Post by: Dr Monk on October 31, 2006, 01:59:39 PM This looks like a talkawhile challenge to me..
Any budding miliners out there ready to renew the supply? Or if Peggy's not keen on that one, sparkly fezs in solidarity of the last thrown cap at Cropredy this year?

It's my birthday tomorrow and I hope someone brings me one. I have always been a fashion trendsetter and if you reckon this is"in" then it's for me. Maybe we could all get them for onstage wear? Bugger off! Peggy.

Mr Thompson's beret is of course "de rigeur".

Some interesting hats here with apologies to Tasha http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiSDJc4SuFE Indeed...but the music's definitely more interesting...that's a really nice version...some great musicianship all round...DM's on fine form and the little keyboard bits from Maart really add to it. Great sound for a Youtube clip - must be edited into the film I imagine? I think I was comatose while this was going on. What an arse. Oh, the stupid things we do when we're 20.... ::) Title: Sparkly caps Post by: Cocker Freeman on November 02, 2006, 07:33:14 PM I've said it before and I'll say it again. I slept through Hendrix at the Isle of Wight.

Unless, of course, it was due to Hendrix not wearing his sparkly cap ::) If one couldn't get a sparkly cap, would a sparkly capo do? "sparkly capo do"....what a great phrase |
