@jambongris waow jethro tulle in 72 must be a fantastic experience!

The concerts in the 70s in general were certainly "expériences" moments in the Hendrix sensé 😜

@thib I was a big Tull fan from the beginning.  I took flute as a second instrument (along with piano) so when I heard their recording of Bach's Bouree on their first album, I thought it was so cool to hear the combination of rock music and flute and when they came to Ottawa to perform their Aqualung album, I got a ticket to that concert too.  This past year I learned Devin's arrangement of Fishin' Creek Blues and when I searched for it on Y.T., I discovered Billy Strings playing it for a group of his friends.  The neat thing is, before he plays Fishin' Creek Blues, he plays Thick as a Brick.  Check it out Thib.  I'm sure Ian Anderson would approve.

@thib What works well with this piece (Fishin' Creek Blues) is you can attach an ending to it that Devin wrote that really fits in well (in my opinion).  Check out the "How To End a Bluegrass Song With Style" lesson and maybe you will agree or maybe you won't.
