Get off my LAWN! "Grumpy Old Farts"

What I've to show for it is a direction, anyway. Now's the time I decide what to study, and I already have a daily technique practice. Likely need some groove samples at my Website. What I find is creating a recording adds an entirely different aspect to how I go about my practice.

What I've got to grump about would fill the Grand Canyon. It's in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation where Chevy Chase performs the longest-ever uninterrupted cuss that ends with the flourish "... give me a Tylenol". And I can absolutely outdo that, frcking minor league cussing, the trick is ... :woot:
 
The Moody Blues are definitely their own thing. Maybe Jethro Tull's in the same camp but on the other side of the lake. The difference for me is I saw Jethro Tull live and never saw the The Moody Blues live. Would have gone had it been a choice available to me.
 
You gotta get Odin to boogie to Albertine Sarges! Just stumbled on to her today. When touring can start again, I hope she plays the Bordeaux area. I should be moved in to Arcachon by then. It's been a long time since I've felt "I have to see her/him/them live!" Long time. Hope you enjoy as much as I do!







What did they do with the B-52s?!

I think it was a 60’s thing. Several bands featured flute including Traffic, The Beatles (Fool on the Hill, Strawberry Fields), The Stones (Lady Jane), Focus, ....Moondance, California Dreaming, and who can forget Rockin’ Robin’. But Tull and the Moodies were full of it.

I also got to see Tull and wish I could have seen The Blues. I envy my sis in-law getting to see them with the St. Louis Symphony - lucky wench. ;)

I think Tull is more of s R &R band, though

Same here. Never saw the Blues, but I did see Tull (1973).

Don't forget about those early '70s bands, like Genesis. Gabriel played flute on a lot of their material.

I saw Tull in 69 or 70(I think)and I play(ed) flute. Not too badly but I'm very rusty now.

Lets not confuse a recorder (Beatles) with a flute (Tull). I've seen both Tull and the 'Blues live and much prefered The Moody Blues. I actually walked out of the Tull concert early due to excremental sound and poor song choices. (No Ian, I'm not here to listen to an acoustic set of your guitar players solo album...)
