HELLO THERE FRIEND IN SPACE :-) :-)

This was almost word by word what I was thinking of answer MWood myself...
"Dun Ringill" is one of my all-time fave Tull songs... and I didn't care
about Stormwatch either at first but when my Tullitis comes (I have it one
or two weeks every year) I listen to this album a lot.


[about "A"]

Never cared to buy this one... wasn't it ment to be a Ian Anderson solo-album
and not a Tull-album?


>>P.S.:  Even "Catfish Rising"?  "Rock Island"?!?!?

>(don't care for "Kissing Willie," but I really like "Whaler's
>Dues" and "Another Christmas Song").  I'm surprised you didn't

Both CR and RI are IMHO quite strong albums... even Kissing Willie is fun...
but "Under Wraps" is, as you say, "a truly horrid effort"...

"Acres Wild" !

, and _Broadsword and the
>Beast_.

"Pussy Willow"! ( I  t h i n k the song is called...)

 Oh, and the _20 Years of JT_ boxed set.  Almost
>forgot _Living in the Past_.  And _A Little Light Music_.
>And, and, and...  you get the idea.

And and... "Minstrel In the Gallery" and and and "Stand Up"... just trying
to help...
