I understand you guys like photos, so here is a photo of me playing an old Kamaka pineapple ukulele in my Lee Keppler fedora...

Sorry that it is kind of big, I'm not sure how to reduce a photo's size.

What impresses me LANGPUSS is your ability to change your avatar at amazing speeds.

You change your avatar, your name...

Do you not want to be found? Are you on the run? Is there a bounty on your hat wearin' head? Lemme know so I can go collect.

Oh yeah, Craigt,
The Keppler looks good on you. I'm not usually impressed by them in the least either, but it looks good.

The hat looks great -- especially with the uke! Welcome aboard!

bink who's tempted to have his pic taken with this hat and a banjo

I was a pipe organ performance major when in college. You think I'm lost in my CURRENT avitar, can you imagine one taken with me and MY instrument of choice?

Regards. Michaelson

Looks like a sweet lid there, Kaleponi!

Your Keppler looks great! I'm partial to the Keppler though as that's my Indy hat of choice at the moment. I love the ribbon-felt color contrast.

You made a good choice, Craig.
The Keppler is a great hat- it'll hold its shape for a long time.
The bow on the Kepplers look great as well.

Thanks, guys. I love my Keppler, it's an awesome hat. I hope to someday get an Adventurebilt pure beaver...that looks like the ultimate Indy Fedora.

I changed my name to Kaleponi Craig...Kaleponi is Hawaiian for California, where I live, and my other passion is playing the Hawaiian music on the ukulele.

Indiana James...Brudda IZ was a friend of mine, so thanks for the comparison!

Aloha, Kaleponi Craig

Great lookin lid, I love my Keppler too. Course it'll get more rack time now that I have an AB.

Still the quality of the Keppler is top notch.

Here's one for you accordian fans. I got this from Doug Legacy, former accordian player for Oingo Boingo then later Doug and the Mystics.

"What is the definition of a gentleman?"

"A man who knows how to play the accordian, but doesn't."

Well, I've always thought it was funny...

Sorry about that, Kris. I'll go quietly now (yeah, sure.

) High regards! Michaelson

You were friends with IZ?!?! That is so cool, that guy was amazing.

Hey, I have an accordian as well. Can't play the thing, but it was a gift.

If Lang and Melty post theirs, I'll post mine! ;-)

I'll even put my 1888 Samuel Brewer piano, Egyptian Doumbek, and bass guitar in the pic, (and the only one I play is doumbek! I have an odd collection of stuff!)

Man, you guys rock. I wish I had a digital camera, much less money to go out and buy a disposable camera so I could put it on CD at wal-mart. As soon as I get paid, I will take and post pics of me, my adventurebilt, and my squeeze box. Oh yeah. I can't wait. This is too cool for words.

Wouldn't it be neat if anyone here who owns both an accordion and an adventurebilt had a picture like that as their avatar? Woo!

Strider

Yes,IJ, Brudda IZ was a good friend. You can check out my ukulele and IZ page at http://www.ukuleleheaven.com. No Indy stuff there, but maybe I can add something.

Lee does make a great fedora. My Lee Keppler was my first "real" Indy fedora after I found IndyGear and I still wear it. My PBBMs and Optimo are my "dress" Indy's, my Keppler (now coated in Fuller's Earth and other stuff) has become my "costume" fedora, here's a pic of me with it about 1 1/2 years ago at the MN Ren Fest with my better half.

I love my Keppler. Great hat for the money!
