In reference to my response to John Cooper on the Jim Clubb post, about rehashing costumes. This man who had his costumes made by Nudies of Hollywood contacted me after seeing pictures of the beautiful work JoAnn and Trudy and Mirille Arnosi did with the Don Foote designs. We became dear friends. He said a musician out of great respect may sometimes give a costume to someone who has inspired them, after a tour is finished, and it is stored and never worn again. He could not understand "rehashing" performance/stage costumes, and thought I was joking when I mentioned the eventual reuse. For the record Mirelle, I gave him the red and black American Eagle one, and I kept the blue American eagle one. But the Black and silver, yellow and black, and tangerine and gold, went the way of the "recycling plant."
