Skipping Flutists?

Two Words: Ian Anderson.

Well, actually its a name- be cause name's aren't words. Ian Anderson is the jazz flutist from the band Jethro Tull. Currently celebrating their 40th anniversary, Jethro Tull is a band that raged from the late 60's all the way to 2008.

Ever seen Anchorman? The comedy with Will Ferrel- Where he is an anchorman for a news team? Well if you have- then you might recall a scene where he breaks out his flute and starts dancing on the tables at a jazz bar, going crazy, stepping on glasses and all around just frantic and chaotic. Well this was an impression of Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull. And if anyone noticed- at the end of the song, he belts out "Hey Aqualung!". Aqualung being one of the most famous songs by Jethro Tull. (+ Ian Anderson is known to hop and dance crazily while playing the flute during concert shows).

Anyways- From crazy dancing to jazz flute, Ian Anderson is basically the man. So if you're a 7th grade boy who plays the flute and you're getting periodically shoved into your locker for it... this is a great card to play. Just mention that Ian Anderson from Jethro Tull pretty much invented cool. And even if you're electric guitar and Jimi Hendrix is your hero- give Ian a try, his flute might just be able to swipe you off your feet.

Some of his most Popular songs(which I love! and would recommend), are...

Aqualung (Original Masters)
Bungle in the Jungle (Original Masters)
Thick as a Brick (Thick as a Brick) (Original Masters)

The song I would recommend that is more or less hidden gold would be
