Well, my last concert trip didn’t turn out so well. Blue Oyster Cult was a real disappointment, a dead band. Will Jethro Tull be the same?
I can’t not go. I spent five years learning to play flute like Ian Anderson, yet I’ve never seen him in concert. He used to show up occasionally at the Flute World expo, but I never got around to going to any of those. I played Bouree at one of my flute recitals (but the piano accompanist balked at doing the bass solo I had so carefully transcribed). Anderson’s technique led me to such greats as Roland Kirk and Paul Hindemith. Anderson’s solo album Divinities was on perma rotation on my car’s CD player.
So I love the man and his music so much, I can only be disappointed.
Still, I can’t NOT go. Dec 1, Wallingford, CT, look me up. I’ll be in the balcony.
