Today I was talking to a friend who also produces and promotes events about how addictive it is once you get going. She said she had about 15 years in and would give it up after 25 years. This caused me to do some quick math, and it dawned upon me that I have been presenting live music events as Mr. Hat Presents for over 25 years. With the constant distraction of the next show, I didn't register that or take time to celebrate a quarter century of Mr. Hat Presents events.

Here is a shot of me doing the Mr. Hat rambling intro thing back around the turn of the century with Nathan Moore and Dave Tiller of ThaMuseMeant, the band that changed my life and started me down this path.

I'm grateful to still be putting on live music events and to all the musicians and music supporters I have been blessed to meet along the way. I can't promise 25 more, but I do promise that I will do my best to W***y Wonka this schtick to someone else when I am ready to hang up my spurs.
