I think you should get one as part of your moderator status. I've seen both Derek and Ivor sporting hats, and even I have a hat (although I don't wear it often because a fat guy in an Indiana Jones hat is not a good look).

Fran, do you have a hat?

As the hair gets thinner, the hat looks like a more attractive proposition! But it's either the burglar look with a beanie or else the oddball look with something more eh, flamboyant!

Well if your cultural reference is Indiana Jones then maybe you should ask somebody else to choose a hat for you.
Fedora in the winter. Panama in the summer. Although when a cruel friend saw me in a linen suit and panama hat she remarked I looked like an amnesiac tea planter. So ignore my advice with confidence.

I know its a bit off topic ... BUT ...


"......
I will venture a recommendation:

Jean Guillou on the Dorian Label
Recorded in The Tonhalla, Zürich

I just happen to have the Pictures At An Exhibition from the same venue, label and performer. Very good sound!

Edit: Sorry his version is very "free" in terms of tempos etc. So this may not be to your liking
....."

Is this a version of Pictures At An Exhibition on the organ !! I have a version [on organ] on LP!!

Yeah, that is indeed a recording of Pictures on a (magnificent) organ. I much prefer Guillou in this stuff, and the recording quality is demonstration class. Recommended! Might be available on Regis or Brilliant, some of the others are, and they're much cheaper than the original Dorian discs, but identical without the extensive liner notes.
