🪦 Goodbye Mick … ‘This Was’ sad news.
@JohnPhilpin Saw this post and immediately Googled Mick Abrahams. Sadly, my fears were well founded.
@artkavanagh truthy .. I am generally on top of these things but it took Jax last night to tell me .. she knows of Tull only because of me .. but can barely recall Ian Anderson’s name … so when she said ‘Jethro Tull’s’ guitarist .. my mind immediately jumped to Martin Barre .. but no .. very much alive and kicking .. so put it down to mistaken identity. Then this morning I thought wait … sad indeed .. but as someone once said (I paraphrase) what is life if not the inevitability of death.
@JohnPhilpin Glad to hear that Martin Barre is alive and kicking at least. I had This Was and listened to it often, but it wasn’t the first Jethro Tull music that I heard (that would have been Benefit) so the bluesy guitar came as a surprise to me.
