You should definitely go the next time he’s in town. I saw them in Grand Rapids and the last few songs of their set in San Francisco this summer. It’s quite a show but not really my style. I really like the single microphone part of the shows. The whole band is so good, especially Alex Hargreaves.

With that said, Billy channels Doc better than most I’ve heard and he’s steeped in the classics.
Thats Awesome man. I bet that was a good time. Both times he was in St. Augustine, he was there for like 3 nights. Next time around though I hope I can get me some tickets. Last time I emailed the local radio station to get tickets but I never heard back from them. Lol I figured couldn't hurt. I won tickets to Elton John for my Mama one time calling a radio station. So it can happen.

Taking out a couple of 1922s today - being Dad’s birth year.

Dad passed away on Wednesday, after a short illness (influenza), 3 days short of his 103rd birthday

I can’t recall ever seeing him with a pipe, but he smoked cigarettes for years - Players Navy Cut, Lucky Strike, Peter Stuyvesant, Benson&Hedges.
He stopped smoking in 1985 after a heart attack

So here’s to you Dad

1st up is a 1922 FLC straight billiard

Being a cigarette smoker, I thought Dad would be happy with the blend of Burley, Virginia and Cavendish in MacBaren’s Navy Flake

So very sorry for your loss, Oz. I hope you are feeling some comfort from many happy memories of him.

Near the quarter mark of this bowl of year 2012 Esoterica Dorchester in a straight smooth brown 1920s KBB Rocky Briar 1582 patent no.298978 with a B in a circle bulldog with a tapered black vulcanite stem. Just fed Daisy the Feral Princess who was snoozin' until she heard me to go the kitchen to get more coffee. The other two ferals are outside. Sleepy Suzy is by my side. Molly Danger is on m'lady's lap.

Now smoking Wilke Little Round Top in an undated straight smooth brown pre-Republic Peterson’s Sterling bulldog 150 with a sterling silver band and a black vulcanite saddle p-lip stem. Ice water and bergs is my drink. Cleaned the pipes that I smoked this evening.
