[Harp-L] Re: Tull plays blues too

[David Fertig <drfertig@xxxxxxxxx>]

I saw Jethro Tull in LA about 8 or ten years ago (or more?), a great live show at the Wiltern, and it started of with a great blues band, featuring a smokin'  harp player.  I wondered who it was?

The harp player then picked up a flute:  INDEED band leader Ian Anderson is a git-down blues harp player, as well as an excellent jazz-rock-blues flutist, singer, songwriter, producer and raconteur.    LIke Tull or not, Ian A knows blues harp.

Just a note about Jethro Tull.
I don't consider Hull a blues artist and if his band happened to 
play a song with a harp in it was just a fluke.
Keep Tull on his flute, let him put you
to sleep before his show is done, because he will
