Sorry old thread, but I believe James Galway smokes a pipe. After all, Murray’s and gallagher were made in Belfast. BTW Denver Oldham was church organist at my church when I was a kid.While he is certainly not a celebrity in the traditional sense, there is a prominent composer in my field (classical music) who is a pipe smoker. Dan Locklair. In fact, like myself, he also plays the pipe organ so he enjoys both smoking and playing pipes! I’ve played a few of his works, and some have become “standard rep” for American organists.
His website(Locklair.com)is full of publicity pics, and in every one he is with a pipe. His music room is obviously his smoking room as well, as at least two of the shots show he has pipes piled high on his piano. Sounds like a good life, surrounded by keyboard instruments and pipes!
"Famous" and "living" are really being loosely defined for this thread.

No way! While I am also a conductor and singer, I have spent far more time in my career as a professional musician at the bench of a pipe organ than anything else. I also have never "met" a fellow organist on a message board unrelated to music. Glad to see that there are two of us here!I'm a professional organist and pipe smoker and am a fan of Locklair. I agree with you about the pics I've seen -- there are a few out there showing him composing at the piano with a giant basket of nice pipes.
Let me summarize the series: It's 20 or so pretty dislikable core characters are at odds with 20 or so really really dislikable characters. They keep killing each other. By the end of season four, you just hope everyone dies. Oh yeah, some dragons and lots of boobs.
An unpeeling post, ha haWell, not to boast here.?
There are handfuls, maybe dozens of handfuls, definitely a number larger than the average age of my audience can count to, that find me to be a celebrity.
I mean write one book about why and how a banana is famous, draw a couple of silly illustrations in crowded school cafeteria, the next thing you know 5-7 year olds surround you wherever you go. ?
It's not all gravy and pie at the top guys...
Writers are interesting people. I think most people assume a writer will have a certain mystique about them.An unpeeling post, ha ha
We used to have a poster who has written a ton of books on stuff like flyfishing. Great guy.

He went by Npod on here. He is still around. His real name escapes me at the moment... Neil or Erik, and seems like it was spelled differently. Damn cigrmaster rubbing off on me.Not JR Hartley?!
Actually, I found quite a few more books. Disregard the slight I may have given. Nice work!!Writers are interesting people. I think most people assume a writer will have a certain mystique about them.
