My new M.O.M - Songs From The Wood

Jethro Tull

My new M. O. M. (Moment of Meaning)

"Let me bring you songs from the wood..."  This was the first Tull album I bought back in 1977.  His theatrical rock songs were captivating.  His flute playing was amazing. His first album came out in 1968 and I had heard songs on the radio from time to time.  The 1977 album Songs From the Wood contained songs that were intriguing and different for me.

I would later see him in concert in Denver CO in the early 1980's.  Awesome concert and stage show!  He was also an influence to me for wanting to learn to play the flute which I taught myself to do in about 1985 so I could play the song Can't You See by Marshall Tucker Band with my cover band, Situation in Reno NV.  Even though one of the coolest songs is Locomotive Breath I was much more enamored by this 1977 album overall in it's entirety.  

My new  M. O. M. is the 1977 Jethro Tull album - Songs From The Wood.  The entire album is one of my favorites.  Enjoy!!

My playing flute on Can’t You See (Marshall Tucker Band). This was a recording of a rehearsal of my band SITUATION back in Reno NV in the 1980’s. We were just learning the song. Byron Walker on lead vocals and lead guitar. I also sing background on the chorus and the counter point towards the end.
