G'day Bill,
In the days when men 'wore hats' it was good manners to take your hat off to a lady. However in Bob's context, the hat is like part of a uniform. That being, in Bob's case, and many of the other bush poets I am acquainted with, the uniform of a 'Bush Poet'. Many of them also wear their ABPA badge stuck on the band at the side of the hat.
The reason I don't like to wear a hat is because it flattens your hair and I like my hair boofy. I usually wear my ABPA badge on my lapel.

HAT HAIR - SO NOT A GOOD LOOK
blokes don't get it and a hat is good for keeping the flies skating rink covered
I like a bloke in an Akubra
Knew a bloke who had a dog called Boofy once Zondrae and it had nothing whatsoever to do with his hair. In fact the name suited both of them: ![Rolling Eyes :roll:](./images/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif)

I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

I reckon I might let that one slip by to the keeper because of your age and failing eye sight Bill.
The performance was around an outside BBQ and I can tell you my mother drilled respect and good manners into all us kids.

The purpose in life is to have fun.
