 Another of my pet peeves is guys playing blues wearing a "Beret". IF you're
gonna play blues and IF you're gonna wear a Beret...you BETTER be good. I
think after hearing Norton Buffalo play, he is the ONLY guy (lately)
quallified to wear a Beret. Besides?? Isn't a beret French?


  Which begs the question "Who was the first blues-man (woman) to wear a
Beret"?
and more importantly..WHY??
