First of all, THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU all for yesterday's King Beard! It's a huge honor to me.

So this is one of my collections. I left out my collections of stringed instruments, hats and bandanas.

Here are 31 (including the one I'm wearing) of my Western shirts-- aka "snappy shirts"-- that I've collected through the years. I play in a country-folk-rock band and I have a bad habit of buying a new shirt before just about every show. There are 14 more of these in the closet.

It's a sickness, I know.

EdwardTeach says:: aw, i'm so jealous of this.

wondermade says:: I'm a sucker for a good snap button shirt too. But I have a hard time wearing them with the beard - too often the snaps catch in the beard and it's rather painful.
