He wanted to come visit us the other night but we said no 'cos he wanted to bring his own piano and we've only got a very small house.
 
We;ve probably got room for Ian Anderson and his flute, but he's going to have to sit on the floor. None of that standing on one leg lark round here.


You know, standing on one leg really takes up less space than sitting. Especially when age has left its cruel deposits upon ones buttocks.  You could really just place Ian in the corner. Perhaps replace a lamp with him.
 
Yep. If I replaced the lamp with Ian I guess it really would be Jethro Dull. Wonder if I could ditch the sofa and install Meatloaf?
It's not that I can't find worth in anything, it's just that I can't find worth in enough.

Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal.

^ I know some votes are sarcasm, but I bet a few are serious, after reading some of the posts...

I'm surprised 'he should definitely be here' is winning. I was expecting no votes for that...

I agree. Great musician, and I own most of his music, but he certainly shouldn't be here.

The entire Streetlife Serenade album is freaking fantastic and highly underrated IMO.

I was listening to the album An Innocent Man this morning, and the opening track is called Easy Money.  Sounds like a prog song to me. Wink

I agree with that too, except that I still have to listen to Nylon Curtain, which is supposed to be good.
