While a teenager, Anderson took a job as a sales assistant at Lewis' department store in Blackpool, then as a vendor on a newsstand.He later said it was reading copies of Melody Maker and the New Musical Express during his lunch breaks that gave him the inspiration to play in a band.In 1963 he formed The Blades from among school friends: Barriemore Barlow (drums), John Evan (keyboards), Jeffrey Hammond (bass) and Michael Stephens (guitar).It broke up within a couple of years, by which time Anderson had moved to Luton.His famous tendency to stand on one leg while playing the flute came about by accident.As related in the "Isle of Wight" video, he had been inclined to stand on one leg while playing the harmonica, holding the microphone stand for balance.Jethro Tull for nearly 40 years.Unable to get his ideas across to the rest of the band verbally, he laid down percussion and guitar tracks himself before adding vocals and then bringing in the others, at a time when tracks were usually recorded with all band members in the studio."Sossity, You're a Woman"; "Hymn 43"; "Thick as a Brick").Green", "Broadsword and the Beast").In the 1990s and 2000s, Anderson's songs often capture 'snapshots' of his daily life ("Old Black Cat", "Rocks on the Road").Watt University, on 11 July 2006.Other flute players include Walter Parazaider of Chicago, Burton Cummings of The Guess Who, Ray Thomas of the Moody Blues, Scorpion Madondo of Savuka, Thijs van Leer of Focus and Peter Gabriel during his years with Genesis.Anderson's character and use of the flute has been referenced in several video games.In the PC game Guild Wars, you can have your character play "air guitar" and similar instruments, including an "air flute".If your character is a male paragon, ranger, assassin, or elementalist, he plays the "flute" on one leg, in the Ian Anderson style.In GTA San Andreas it is believed a character named Jethro is a homage to Anderson, as he wears a similar beard and bandana.He was appointed Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) in the 2008 New Year Honours.Musical collaborations and other work

playing has actually improved greatly.And, in the fashion of Jethro Tull, there even many laughs on this album.Simply gorgeous flute as the lead instrument with
orchestral backgrounds in styles of classical, folk, world, and new age all present.The
quality of the material makes it more than a muzak experience.On the down side, since the music is inspired by spirituality
it would have been nice for there to have been some exploration or commentary in the booklet to this end.True Tull freaks may feel there's something missing...Meanwhile, THE SECRET LANGUAGE OF BIRDS is well worth hearing.Studio Album, 1995)
