Pipe Maker Jason Thompson on Radio Show of Sept 14, 2017

[admin]

Our Featured Interview on The Pipes Magazine Radio Show tonight is with Jason Thompson of J.L. Thompson Pipes. Jason is a landscape architect, and started making pipes because he loves working with wood. He has been making pipes for 4½ years. The pipe making eventually led to him smoking pipes, which is the opposite of most pipe makers. In the Pipe Parts segment, Brian will discuss why most people start with bent pipes, and then later on move onto straight stemmed pipes.

Bent to straight certainly holds true for me. My first 2 pipes were quarter bents but the subsequent dozen were straight.
Most of the music selections for the shows fall somewhere between "tolerate" and "enjoy" for me, but... not this week. Had to hit the fast forward.
Looking forward to this week's show!
