    Latakia does have a way of finding its way into nooks and crannies.

    ***What Are You Smoking, November 2020?***

    My sympathies. Seriously. Me, I love the stuff after 50 years. I even smoke it straight; the wife loves the smell.

    Hello Pipers

    It only takes 6 months to a year to learn. Problem is you have to squeeze the bag, blow into the bag, keep constant pressure of the bag, don't over blow into the bag, remember the music, control your fingers, and march around. And keep 4 reeds and the entire set up in condition to be played...

    "Less" and "Fewer," Does It Matter?

    John, "of course" being an appositive phrase, it needs a comma before, as well as after. I put some extras in the other sentence so feel free to use one of those of course!

    Any Negatives to Estate Pipes?

    Pre-Cadogan era (prior to '84) GBDs & Comoy's. If a GBD has the logo in a brass roundel on the stem or a Comoy with a 3-pirce inlaid C, that's your best indicator as to a dividing line. Since then the manufacturer has gone cheap & the pipes aren't quite as good.

    Any Negatives to Estate Pipes?

Being a dinosaur "that's just me." -laugh- I've discovered a lot of new that I like, but mainly I'm just an old guy for old pipes. ?

    I don't even need a picture. Can visualize that perfectly! Love me some Armellinis. I look mainly for his; I really need to look for those by his daughter. I don't even know how many TBI Veronas of his that I've got -- 8 at least, probably more than that.

    Irish Blessing in a fat-bowled Iwan Ries Memento billiard. Not forced perspective; the bowl really is that big.
