Couldn't sleep, so I'm up and am half way through this bowl of year 2014 Edward G. Robinson's Pipe Blend in a 2014 Basil Meadows smooth slight bend squashed tomato with an aluminum band and a black pearl acrylic stem in the military mount style. Ice water and bergs is my drink.Basil_squashed_ tomato copy.jpg

I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track,
And as I go, I love to sing
My knapsack on my back.

Val-der-reee, Val-der-rah!
My knap sack on my back

OK, not just whimsical, but I had a far back memory that the above song originated in Austria, as did the pipe.

Anyone know?

Well, origin is Germanic, which I don't think it rules out Austria.

The name of the tune is "The Happy Wanderer" and it's a great camping/hiking/trekking song.

Not far from finishing this bowl of Watch City Old Black Magic in a slight bend smooth brown 1970’s Danish Sovereign XXX 309 (Stanwell) with a flat front sitter with a black vulcanite stem. Haven't smoked this pipe or blend in some time, but it felt like the right time for me.
