The first time I saw this was at a Peter, Paul and Mary concert, a few years before the Stones came along. It was either Peter or Paul. Mary didn't have a guitar.
Keith Richards is just a copy cat.

Haha. That's pretty awesome. I'm curious, though, was either Peter or Paul drunk? Or did Keith get that from Mary?

Neither one of them seemed drunk. I'm pretty sure Keith picked that up on his own.
I'm new here, so I apologize if I'm continuing to stir the shit in this thread. Before I continue, I will defer to the wisdom of those who have been doing this longer than me, and say that I have not yet made a single pipe, so I am probably the least knowledgeable person here.
Now, it seems that there are two characteristics of briar wood used to make pipes which make it fundamentally different from wood you might pick up for other types of woodworking (please correct me if I am wrong): 1. It is taken from the root of the plant, and 2. It is boiled to remove unwanted oils. So that naturally begs the question of whether anyone has ever tried making pipes out of the boiled root wood of other plants?
Just about every plant you can think of has been tried by somebody at some time period.
The trouble with most is that the ones that are physically capable of being a pipe, like Manzanita, are really hard to find without cracks and fissures and dead scorpions and stuff inside 'em.
You CAN make pipes out of damn near any domestic wood. Maple burl, for example.

Rod,
"If I Had A Hammer", I'd drive "500 Miles" instead of "Leaving on a Jet Plane" because it might be "Blowing in the Wind". I hate to age myself, but I saw them many times in concert. Dang Rod, "The Times They Are A-Changin'", I just wish I knew "Where Have all the Flowers Gone".
