Thanks for bringing us this interview with Mr. Goussard. I hadn't heard of him until the radio show, and it is always nice to learn about a new carver.
Brian, I appreciated your piece on the West Coast Pipe Show. When I think about travelling to future shows I am trying to determine whether I branch out and attend the Vegas show, or even the newly minted New Orleans show, with my wife. Or whether I stick to attending the Chicago show and treat the weekend as a guy's get-away weekend. Hearing that there were good pipe-deals on offer in Vegas, coupled with the fact that I think Las Vegas would offer more distraction/entertainment for my wife than Chicago would, makes the West Coast show a real possibility.
Mind you, Chicago is the closest thing pipe folk have to a holy city... and having been, that show would be hard to miss. Oh the dilemma! Yeah, yeah, life should be so hard.
Thanks for another good show. I hope you're enjoying your morning commute and settling in to a routine.
Cheers,
-- Pat
