Thanks for doing this one. I've been trying to channel Ian Anderson on flute for over 30 years and have yet to really try to master this one, since I've concentrated on largely book ending the Aqualung album. I go from 'Stand Up' then to 'Thick as a Brick' and then on to the late 70's folk rock period repertoire. You've given me an inspirational starting point here. I've started playing in a church band and one of the guys keeps mentioning 'Locomotive Breath' during practice. I may have to work up something to pitch at him the next time he mentions it. BTW, I'm curious the make and model of the flute you're using in this one. I've only recently entered the world of B foot flutes with a Di Zhao 801. Before that it was C foot Armstrongs and an old Wurlitzer Imperial stencil flute that I learned on.
@richardwessel7574 awesome! I'm an occasional church fluter as well. I play a student model Yamaha with the B foot from my concert Yamaha (which I almost never use). Armstrong would probably be my second choice. I started on a very old Bundy flute from like 1930 or something. Keep on flutin'!
Hell yes! I'm just starting to understand the embouchure, and how to control my breath without becoming light-headed. This is my first wind instrument, I have mostly strings. All just for fun. I'm not a musician, so say my professional musician friends, but I can draw and paint.
Been waiting for this one! Thank you so much!
@@austin8159 you betcha! Hope it's helpful.
THAAAAAAANKSSSSSSSSSS MASTERRRR

Nice! Glad you're giving the flute a try!
