Ok, try and play anything that they came  up with in 2nd position with one 
harp. Those guys were awesome. I can  rip......... I'm good enough to play with 
any blues band out there......... I  can't do what those guys do without 
switching harps on any of those songs.  Step back and appreciate what those guys 
accomplished.
      Sorry, I just had to say that.

i  doubt anyone does.

by "his band", i  assume you mean Jethro Tull.  the "he", in this case,
is Ian  Anderson.

nonsense.  his band has played songs with harp, including  at least
one blues song, "so much trouble".  it doesn't seem like  such a stretch
from flute player to harp player.  you've already got  the breath control, 
timing, rhythm, musical aspects.  you just need  to learn the mechanics
of harp.  ian anderson started as a guitar  player, then taught himself to
play flute (he looked at the guitar  competition back then and decided he
couldn't compete), so why not  harp?

i'm sorry you don't enjoy their music.  their thousands  of fans apparently
do.  i like some of it, not all.  but  they're great musicians.  to each his 
own.
