Carl Sandburg Visits Me In A Dream

Ian Anderson, leader of Jethro Tull, made the flute the most badass woodwind around. And this is why: a live version of Locomotive Breath.

Some discussion about Ian Anderson. He learned to play the electric guitar, but decided to pick up the flute and learn it one day. A few months later, he was rocking out on the flute as Jethro Tull. He’s also known for standing on one leg while playing the flute: a reporter once wrongly described him in an article as playing the flute on one leg (it was actually a harmonica). Inspired by it, he decided to do it anyway. And the rest is history!
