Biography
The name Jim Gaspipe
Thompson started out as a joke kind of like Louie Lugwrench
Scarmuchi. But on second thought we realized that gaspipe has a significant
meaning in Nigeria, where a couple of our band members are from. We
also realized that all the instruments I play are gaspipes, and, as
a very organic friend of mine pointed out, we are all gaspipes. With
that kind of resonance, who could resist? The guys in the band are a
gathering of some of my favorite players Ive worked with over
the years and I am proud to be associated with each and every one of
them. So pull up a chair, kick off your shoes and take a little trip
into the musical world of the Gaspipe Band.
