I play out all the time but feel like I never get to smoke my pipe unless I am playing at a cigar lounge - that picture above of SRV smoking and playing is about as cool as it gets.

Did this a while back just to be silly

If that's you just being silly would love to see you at your most serious

That was cool

I smoke a pipe, but I’m not a musician, I’m the drummer?. He’s the 4th guy who hangs out with musicians…..yuk yuk yuk. View attachment 91541
note: I’m not smoking a pipe in this picture.

whats the difference between a drummer and a drum machine?
answer = you only have to punch the music into the drum machine once.

I am not kidding when I tell you that seeing Donald Duck Dunn on the Blues Brothers was my original inspiration for smoking a pipe. I was a kid and it just looked cool as hell. I started paying more attention to pipe smokers from that day forward.

I've been trying to research what his favorite tobacco was. We all know he liked the straight apple shape.

Ian Anderson is just a God. A British Icon. Jethro Tull are British than Britain. X

It is surprising all the musicians who smoke a pipe while performing.
