“Good man, good mind, good music. By UK standards probably a conservative, just my guess. He is in my top three of people I would like to meet before I move on.”
My respect for Tony Snow is immense; one of the few media faces I felt as though I had already “shared a beer with”, though I never had the fortune to meet him.
Interestingly, no one has gotten to one of the things that originally led me to listen to Tull. Jethro obviously wasn’t a band member, who was Jethro Tull? At the dawn of the 17th century, he revolutionized agriculture by inventing the seed drill and increasing production by an order of magnitude. That this seemingly mad Scotsman with a flute and no lead guitar even knew this, let alone named his traveling band after such a man was enough to con me out of the price of a vinyl album. Been hooked ever since.
No lead guitar? Martin Barre is the best guitarist no one has heard of!
