      Exactly. Stuff wasn't broken down into "genres". It was just music and either you liked it or you didn't. Don't like the song/artist currently playing on the radio? No problem, just wait a few minutes and boom... a banger that suits your soul. Between all of the genres and tech, the music industry has become so fragmented and spiteful that it's not fun anymore

      Hello to northern Michigan! There is no place better to listen to the music of Jethro Tull, Genesis, et. al than northern Michigan. My family had a place on a little lake near Kalkaska when I was young where I listened to music until dawn throughout my teen years. My first album purchase was Aqualung in 1971 when I was 12, and I remember thinking, "I love the songs Aqualung and Locomotive Breath, but how could the rest of the album be good? 50+ years later, I still marvel at how excellent the entire album is. Enjoy your retirement years in God's Country!

Ian was told that anything would be considered and asked “What do you want?” Ian is supposed to have replied that he wasn’t sure but the way things were going it needed to be something small cuz he was probably going to be living in a box in the alley. And so was born a rock and roll flute player.

      At 72 I remember seeing Jethro Tull at the forum around ‘71-‘72. I witnessed a little green Elf jumping around the stage. And unknown to me, a Hendrix,Page, Beck, Carlos,and God lover of the blues/rock guitar, I was unaware of the genius guitarist Martin Bare. Along with the Queen guitarist, Bob May, who also is a an astrophysicist even existed. Teaming up with the genius of Ian Anderson, together they were a force to be reckoned with.. The talent of the 60’s and early 70’s guitarist who came from “across the Pond” playing unadulterated Blues without the restricted volume control, or the 11:00 pm mandatory quitting time. The Allman brothers Live at the Fillmore album said what is in my heart. “PLAY ALL NIGHT” while playing Whipping Post and the homegrown slide guitar king Dwayne Allman, were unforgettable.. I lived the life of Sex-Drugs-Rock and Roll as so many of us had done. Peace😊

    Jethro Tull is the band, the band names were often supplied by their booking agent's staff, one of whom, a history enthusiast, gave them the alias Jethro Tull after the 18th-century agriculturist. The name stuck because they were using it when the manager of the Marquee Club liked their show enough to give them a weekly residency. (thank you wikipediea!) 40!

She was a concert pianist and would play classical giants for fun and then switch on the FM station for the Jimmy Hendrix concert being broadcast. How blessed I was to have her.

    Ian Anderson is Scottish, like myself and I call him the mad minstrel. His music, much of it, has the feel of Renaissance and Celtic tones. If you want to be impressed listen to the album Living In The Past, Songs From The Wood, Stormwatch, Heavy Horses. Ian knew he wasn't going to be a great guitarist so he picked up the flute and learned it on his own. His signature stance is playing the flute on one leg. His older brother was head of the Scottish Ballet theater and taught Ian some moves which he incorporates in much of his performances. He's wild-eyed, does lots of crazy stuff and is fully animated on stage.

    The Aqualung album was Jethro Tull’s best album in my opinion. I lean strongly on my opinion. It’s their most popular album too I believe. Ian Anderson is the name of the flautist who is the lead singer. He is an Atheist and he proudly flaunted it in the Aqualung album. But, he sure does tell a great story and play a great flute!🪈 He is the great storyteller and it surely is his claim to fame and he wields it with fury and might! I saw them in concert in the early days when they came out with the Aqualung album. This album put them on the map. It pays to be an old fart where rock and roll music is concerned.

    The craziest thing about Ian Anderson is that he was self taught on the flute. He just made up how to play. His daughter was learning the flute and asked him why he was playing "wrong". He eventually took lessons and learned the "right" way.

    So, I was 18 and my team had just won debate and interpretive reading championship for the state of Alabama. There was a Jethro Tull concert that night but it was sold out. We were staying at a Holiday Inn hotel where all rooms faced outwards. About 1 am I needed to get away from the party and sat outside next to the door watching a fierce thunderstorm- as in lightning hitting the swimming pool. 2 doors down a man comes out, sits down and pulls out a flute. He then proceeded to play music to/with the thunderstorm. Couldn't believe my luck in getting a private impromptu show from Ian Anderson. It was a memorable night. The photo shoot for the album Living in the Past was done partly outside the hotel next day and the pics are in the album.

And I can't tell you how thrilled I am to see a whole new generation discovering the music that was imprinted on us in our teens and 20s. Tull was a big band in its day, but it doesn't have the name recognition today of, say, the Rolling Stones. So that makes this reaction even more special to me. My dream is to see guys of your generation creating new music inspired by our music, just like the Stones and the other groups in the 60s were inspired by old American blues...which by the way was only about 30 years in the past at that time. Please keeping digging into this music, and reacting to it.

Ian Anderson is one of the best front man I've ever seen. I'm so glad the younger generations are starting to listen to these bands. They just played right out of the amp.

It takes us back to a time when it really was better, and I'm glad I was around in this era. I was born in 1966, so I was just a kid in the 70s, but I grew up with this music. We only had only like 4 tv channels but we still had Midnight Special, American Bandstand, Don Kirshner, Soul Train, etc... all kinds of shows. I mean The Carpenters even had a variety show. I was 5, but I was going to marry Tom Jones. Talent was everywhere. Then I hear Rush in 1979 & they've been my favorite band since.
