I rushed toward Tandem Wine and Beer on College Avenue in Appleton a few minutes late to my interview with acoustic singer/songwriter Kurt Gunn, where he would later be playing a show. I was greeted outside the door by Gunn himself. The first thing he said to me was “maroon and white stripes.” I messaged him earlier on Facebook that I was running late and he could recognize me by what I was wearing — a maroon and white striped dress with matching maroon tights. We shook hands and I apologized for my tardiness. He said it was no problem; he had to haul some gear into the venue anyways. Wearing Doc Marten boots that he’s had for about 10 years now, wool socks because he’s struggling with a cold, a denim shirt, a newsboy hat and glasses, Gunn looked the part of a musician.
