I bought them and a cowboy hat to use for stage costumes. This Wednesday, we're doing a Halloween Radio Play (centered around Superman, Tell-Tale Heart and Fall of the House of Usher scripts that were performed on the radio in the 40s.) I mostly play keyboards and sing while the audience is being seated and then do the little stings and scene music that comes up. (I improvise that. Also, occasionally I have speaking parts - - generally trained actors do most of the speaking.)
The radio plays consist of reading the play before a live audience and recording (and occasionally broadcasting) the plays. There is little if any stage action as the end result is intended to be an audio play.
Occasionally, I'll wear a fedora with a jacket and tie when we play - - especially if we are doing a vintage play like "War of the Worlds."
We are encouraged to wear black. For Halloween (and for some other performances I do) I will wear a black cowboy hat, a black and white bandanna (rolled and tied in a square knot) and a black winter type shirt.
I have not owned (or at least not been able to find a bandanna in my disoranized house) in a while. I used to use them a few times a year when I was in country bands. We'll see how it goes.
