About the only friend I have who smokes a pipe is an electronic music composer who gets grants from Guggenheim, has played concerts in Carnegie Hall, and is known in the music world, but no one would recognize his name if mentioned it. He and his wife have given me a couple of pipes and some tobacco. He played a contemporary sax solo at my wife's and my wedding, and the minister panicked because it wasn't standard wedding music, but luckily let him finish. He's gifted but avant guard, works with musicians from all over he world. So he's my "pipe celebrity." Let the world catch up.

He was busking in NYC, and one woman put some dollars his sax case, then she went to a concert where he was invited up on stage to join the ensemble. The woman saw him after he concert and demanded her busking money back, which he gave her. He's always up to some mischief.

It wouldn't be fair of me to post a billion celebrities, as I have read through about a hundred pages of posts in the dozen threads on this, ha ha.
What? Not famous? Mad Men has to be about one of the most watched series out there, surpassed maybe by Game of Thrones... and this guy is also a pipesmoker. View attachment 4390

And, if you don't know who this is, then you probably have been under a rock for a decade.
Apparently I’ve been living under a rock ?
