    Harry Belafonte Has Left Us.

    Not really my cup of tea, but I like his calypso style, and his pidgin talk. Great musician and nice guy for a wide spread popular culture.

    What Music Are You Listening To - April, 2023

    Do you know the „Conspicuous only in its Absence“ album? One of my favourites of all time. Grace Slick at her best!

    What Music Are You Listening To - April, 2023

    A lot of god tracks on this one. One of my favourite records when I was 15 years old.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Ah yes, the second Lacroix panel I’ve seen, besides mine. It’s a nice pipe.

    Weekend take

    Congratulations, beautiful pipes those freehands. The pipe knife looks a lot like a savinelli fitsall i am looking for.

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    Headed to the tobacco store, MB Virginia was out of stock. Switched to Navy Flake, that I had in the 1970s, when I was 15, before I got into cigarettes. Nice everyday smoke. Scratched off the warning „Rauchen ist…“

    Those who Murder their Spouses

    It’s more likely that you will kill your wife. US-Department of justice in 2010: “Females were most likely to be victims of domestic homicides (63.7%) and sex-related homicides (81.7%)”

    ***What Are You Smoking, April 2023?***

    I hope you like it. It turned out to be my short morning smoke in the Kiko. And I’ll go now to fetch another pack in my local store.

    Paykoc Briar Churchwarden with 2 cracks and a hole in the shank

    Superglue for the holes will do the job. For the crack in the shank I maybe wouldn’t do anything, as long it holds the stem in place. I’ve got two pipes with similar cracks, and in both cases they don’t move further. Maybe the tenon was a little bit too tight anyways, or the wood shrinked...

    What Music Are You Listening To - April, 2023

    Some passages remind me of a Kurt Weill composition “Was die Herren Matrosen sagen” (The sailors Tango) written 1928 for Bertolt Brechts “Happy End”. Translation: Lyrics Hello! Now we're going over to Burma We've got plenty of whisky with us And cigars we'll smoke, Henry Clay And the girls...

    Born down in a dead man's town The first kick I took was when I hit the ground You end up like a dog that's been beat too much Till you spend half your life just covering up [Chorus] Born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. I was born in the U.S.A. Born in the U.S.A.

    Rationalizing Spending A Lot On A Pipe?

    If money doesn’t matter I wouldn’t rationalise at all and just spend it even on a pipe.

    My Very Special 60th Birthday Pipe by Savinelli

    It seems to be a great birthday gift, my dear and I really was curious and tried but couldn’t read that long column. I’m sure it would be helpful to the reader to structure such a long text with paragraphs and intermediate lines. Please, just hit the return button twice from time to time.

    Help Me Solve A Pipe Mystery!

    Rum and Maple Blend 53? But be prepared not to smell much of the fume when you smoke that yourself. Get a janitor to do the job for you.

    What Music Are You Listening To - April, 2023

    Yes, I listened to Jeff Buckley with “Once I was a Soldier” in St. Ann’s Cathedral on you tube, the similarity is strange. Although it is known that father and son hardly met in their livetimes. And both died by let’s call it accident. Strange duplicity of fate.
