[Dixielandjazz] The Dixieland or Jazz look

[tcashwigg at aol.com]

Well I got news for ya kids,  that ain't hidin' it  it's more likely 
calling attention to it :))

Try wearing an extra extra large  Choir ROBE OR A MUMU IF YA WANNA HIDE 
IT :))  And maybe a Mexican Mariachi Sombrero :))

Yer only kiddin' yerself kid :))  But if it makes YOU feel better hell 
go ahead and do it :))

Different strokes fer different folks.

Cheers,

Tom,

   off to run up the mountain to work off dinner and get in shape for 
the upcoming parade so they don't have to wheel me thru it in a 
wheelbarrow.  :))

One of the reasons I use a vest is that it has a lot of open space- arm
holes, open
neck - and loose fit. Consequently it is cooler and also helps hide the 
fact
that
now at age 71, I've put on a few pounds and need to hide it as much as
possible.

====================
Vests are indeed relatively cool, comfortable, and cost-effective visual
brand identification for OKOM bands, provided (unlike me) you don¹t 
pour on
the pounds after you got yours.  I¹m on my second one, alas.  The next
problem some of us plus-size players have is the bow tie, or anything 
that
will more or less close up my collar. God put most (not all) of the fat 
in
my head around my neck and underneath my chin: keeping any kind of a 
tie on
and even loosely cinched up, especially on a hot outdoor gig in the 
middle
of summer (is there any other kind on the East Coast?), is a losing 
battle.
Maybe the bowties are unnecessary, but we affect them to more or less
complete ³the look².  Naturally, I¹m the only one in the band who has 
this
problem and I get sent to the naughty corner a lot for violating my own
dress code.
