The Hippies — Fri, 10 May 2013 16:46:38 +0000

Are you looking for the perfect book to read on this rainy day? Or any day for that matter? We have a huge selection of books from Rock N’ Roll photography to dog yoga! We have it all. Check out our HiPPiE favorite books for today!

Co-HiPPiE Matt Walberg picked out two of his favorite books to read on a rainy day.

Murphey’s Law of Songwriting and The Organic Nanny’s Guide to Raising Healthy Kids. They could not be more perfect for him! He is a songwriter with a little Walberg on the way! Murphey’s Law of Songwriting by Ralph Murphy is a great book for any musician trying to make it in the business. Roger Greenaway who was inducted into the Songwriter’s Hall of Fame quotes, “Murphy’s Law of Songwriting is the kind of book I wish I had access to in the 60s. Anyone who is serious about a career in the business and craft of songwriting should have a copy of this essential book in his or her kit.” You can check out Matt and his band here at Two Old Hippies Nashville every Saturday at 1:00 PM!

Co-HiPPiE Hilary is a Hippie at heart. With a Gypset style, and love for music, her rainy day reads include Gypset Travel and House of Cash. In Gypset Travel Julia Chaplin explores the lifestyles of gypsetters across the globe through intimate photographs and experiences. House of Cash includes the legacies of Johnny cash through personal letters, photos and journal entries. The book was written by Johnny Cash’s son, John Carter Cash. I highly recommend browsing through this book on a rainy day!

Come on by Two Old Hippies and find the perfect book for you!

Woodstock: The JIMI Jacket

The Hippies — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:18:38 +0000

“The Jimi Jacket” is now available at Two Old Hippies Nashville. The Jacket was created by Perry Joe Gabbard of Nashville. You’re probably wondering why is it called the Jimi Jacket? Well the answer to this is pretty cool!

Perry (the designer) is of Cherokee heritage and has been working with beads and leather most of his life. He is also a traditional Native American dancer and makes most of his dance regalia. Growing up he was captivated by the Woodstock festival of 1969. One of the most memorable things was the jacket worn by Jimi Hendrix.

He went on a mission to recreate the amazing piece and studied the film footage hours on end to create a pattern. This jacket is the very first one created. Nothing but premium buckskin and premium glass beads are used. The piece is traditionally hand laced, not sewn, and every piece of fringe is cut by hand. Each jacket arrives in a custom made garment bag. Your custom jacket can be crafted from WHITE, NATURAL TAN or BLACK buckskin leather, and you may also choose 3 bead colors.

Price available on request. Interested in a custom Jimi Jacket? Stop by Two Old Hippies in Nashville and ask any Co-Hippie to arrange a custom fitting with Perry. Trust us – you want to come by even just to check out this amazing piece on display!
