I change my socks every day.

[Chuck Nessa]

Change 'em? Why?

[Dan Gould]

I guess I am in between Chuck and Paul. Living the casual, work-at-home country life, if I only wear socks while working out and afterwards walk around sockless in my docksiders, then I'll probably wear those same socks the next day when I work out.  But if I am wearing socks the whole day the surely go in the hamper in the evening.

Just once, but the socks have to want to change?

If they have a hole - immediately!

[mikeweil]

Every sock must have at least one hole ....

[paul secor]

Guess I'm the only one who takes sock changing as a serious business.

[mikeweil]

It depends on how your feet sweat and smell. If my socks smell, I change, at least every other day.

[BillF]

Socks?

David Beckham also needs socks!

You should switch them at least once a week, or they get stretched into the shape of that foot.

wasn't there a sax player who liked to play barefoot on stage?

[king ubu]

that's what Rhoda Scott does, of course

[BillF]

There is, of course, the well-known story of Bird, nodding out  in the Jay McShann section, then running out in his socks to take his solo.

I'm wanting to say a young Corky Corcoran, but am not really sure about that.

i may be thinking of an isolated coltrane story in one of the biographies, probably the porter one.

Not sure about a sax player but Steven Wilson (ex-Porcupine Tree) always performs barefoot.

Vincent Peirani, the french accordionist, always plays barefoot too!
