back in the Early 70s I used to base my stage look on Ian Anderson's stage look ...

Um ... that's not a flute, Jeff.

But he's not on one leg? Or is that just for flautists?

You're also missing Ian Anderson's most . . . infamous costume accessory . . . thank you for not copying him to the letter!

perhaps I should say a loose interpretation ... I was thinking the overcoat, the long hair, and the red beard ... and what that photo doesn't show is is the calf high boots I was wearing ...

gee styles have changed a little ...

At least bands in the 70s were colorful . . . we've got a whole lot of black and grey these days . . .

I'm envious of you folks who saw Tull perform in the 70s, still waiting for a concert DVD from that era. I was born the same year Thick as a Brick came out, thus I didn't catch up with them until the album Rock Island, and I've seen them about 5 times since.

Tull is one of the main reasons I love music so much. I've been working on a few solo arrangements for Chapman Stick, posted on my website if anyone wants a listen.

Another interesting band that I saw in the '70s was Gryphon, with Yes in '74. Their front man made me think of Ian Anderson, but playing a bassoon instead of a flute.

Rob, that is awesome stuff. You've got it going on, for sure.

Jeffrey...yeah, Gryphon was really cool. The bassoon guy's name was Brian Gulland, if I recall correctly...plus their keyboard cat was a 'mofo' on recorder...my favorite album of their's was 'Midnight Mushrumps'...Close To The Edge meets J.R.R. Tolkien...
