My Tribute to Jethro Tull |
"Wondering aloud ... how we feel today. Last night set the sunset ... my hand in
her hair. We are our own saviours ... as we start both our hearts beating life
... into each other. Wondering aloud ... will the years treat us well. As she floats
in the kitchen ... I'm tasting the smell ... of toast as the butter runs
... then she comes spilling crumbs on the bed ... and I shake my head. And it's
only the giving that makes you what you are." Ian Anderson 1971 |

DISCOGRAPHY |
I have been a devoted fan of Jethro Tull since 1974 upon the release of the Warchild
LP ... you know, the one with Bungle in the Jungle on it. I saw Tull in concert
at that time as well and immediately became hooked. Soon I was gobbling up
all the Tull albums I could find. To this day I have seen Tull live in concert
in excess of 25 times. I am fascinated by the pretty and unique sounds and the
beautiful melodies of their songs. Some of you may only be familiar with the Aqualung
LP. This recording is rather unlike most of Tull's work in that it is very
hard driving and has a heavy sound. Most of Tull's recordings have an old english
or Scottish quality, are very melodic, and in fact are quite soothing to
listen to. Jethro Tull came into exsistance in 1968. Tull's music has shown drastic
changes through the years. Early music of the late 60's had a decidedly blusey
quality while their music of today has a refined classical tone. Much of
Tull's music of the mid 70's through the mid 80's had an old English or Elizibethian
quality. Tull is most well known for the incorporation the the flute, quite
unique within most rock and roll music. Incidently, there is no person in this band named Jethro Tull. The leader, singer,
songwriter, and flute/acoustic guitar player is Ian Anderson. Below are some
midis of a few Tull recordings. Most of these are of very high quality and I think
you may enjoy them. ENJOY!!!!! |
"Tiptoes in silence ... 'round my bed ... and quiets the rain drops ... overhead.
With her everlasting smile ... she stills my fever for a while. Oh Nursie Dear
... I'm glad you're here ... to brush away my pain." |
