Paul Jensen and Patrick Gorman sign

The Windham Hill Hat is feeling pretty pleased once again.  Widen the doors for this hat to pass through.

With the acquisition of Patrick Gorman and Paul Jensen, the W.H Hat is becoming quite valuable.

I can't say much for some of these poses............we did ask all the artists to please be serious - but this is what we got. :)

Fortunately Paul Jensen was a little more sensible, I guess he had the Hat tour guide with him and that means boot camp for rediculous behaviour.

A Dark and Shady Hat.....



The POP Hat is at it again........hanging out with the coolest people.  Bob Malone,  (currently John Fogerty's keyboard player) also tours with his own original band. 

“Bob Malone doesn't just accompany himself on piano. He supports his singing with pulsating, roaring keyboard work that grabs you and shakes you until you cry for mercy.”   — Keyboard Magazine

Bob headlines over 100 shows a year across the US, Europe, Australia and Asia, and has opened for and/or played with Rickie Lee Jones, The Neville Brothers, Rev. Al Green, Dr. John, Subdudes, Leon Russell and many others.

Then.......... the WH Hat spotted Marc Shulman at Cafe Vivaldi in New York for our coolest Windham Hill photo.


Marc recorded guitar for a number of Imaginary Road artists, but also worked with Jewel, Suzanne Vega, Celine Dion, Chris Botti, Marc Anthony to name a few .   In actual fact we could have had him sign BOTH hats!  He's a POP legend as well.

Then we found Lawrence Blatt - Guitarist of New Age note....... and one of the biggest names in the current New Age world.

You would swear blind that Lawrence was a POP Rock God as well from the photo taken at Imaginary Road during a recording session!  The Hats were totally in 'cool' mode.

KENNY ARONOFF!

Kenny signs the POP Hat for charity! What an awesome guy! Currently John Fogerty's drummer and one of the most influential and in-demand drummers in the world!  He also signed a couple of drum sticks and a drum skin.  The POP hat is becoming more valuable and will raise lots of money for Cancer support charity Spa4thepink.org at the auction at our LA Concert on the 8th September with Guest artist Karen Nash.  

The Two Grand I'm Yours Tour has been a great gig for the Hats - they have been enjoying the journey as much as we have!
