girl dog school
When I was a young boy, I preferred cats to dogs. From the age of seven or eight onwards I just felt more comfortable with cats. And I felt more comfortable with girls, I didn't really like hanging out with guys. When I was about ten or eleven, I was friendlier with the girls in my school than with the guys.
play skills guitar
All the time I was playing the flute, the lines, the solos, the riffs, the construction, were based on my guitar skills. I did not play the flute to exploit its natural faculties, but I used it as a surrogate guitar.
song identity determined
In most cases, my favorite Jethro Tull songs will be determined by how I feel about them as live performance songs, not by the recorded identity.
player guitar numbers
The flute was an alternative to being a small fish in an increasingly bigger pool filled with a number of great guitar players.
promise challenging-the-status-quo may
Our politicians may fail us, but Status Quo always delivers on the promise.
flutes chicago made
I was not a great guitarist, so I sold my 1960 Fender Stratocaster in exchange for a Shure Microphone, made in Chicago, and a flute.
blue awful pairs
Just once I would like to persuade the audience not to wear any article of blue denim. If only they could see themselves in a pair of brown corduroys like mine instead of this awful, boring blue denim.
secret way
Question all as to their ways and learn the secrets that they hold
children terrible irritating
I'm really terrible with small children; they're small, noisy, irritating, damp and soggy.
fire brain littles
I'm not one for Sudoku or crosswords - the thing that fires my little brain is doing tour budgets.
mean guitar green
I suppose when I started playing guitar, it was the means to an end. I never thought of myself as a fully fledged guitar instrumentalist. And my early excursions on the electric guitar were curtailed when Eric Clapton came on the scene, and I decided I was never going to be in the same arena as a Clapton or a Peter Green.
children teenager church-music
Classical music only really came into my life in 1969. I wish I had heard classical music and church music when I was a teenager or even as a child.
jesus blue denim
If Jesus Christ came back today, He and I would get into our brown corduroys and go to the nearest jean store and overturn the racks of blue denim.
writing drawing giving
There's always going to be a little bit of autobiographical content to everything. It's how you lend some authority to what you write - you give it that weight by drawing on your direct experiences and indirect experiences from people that you know well, or a little.
