What Are You Listening To?

[Music Head]

from my library (vinyl)



A classic for me two days in a row. When it comes to favorite decades of music, I have to be different and pick an
off decade, 65-74. And another of my favorite bands of the period with Tull. This is their third album, with their
classic to follow. This one approaches that for me. Five love tracks and five like tracks makes it a love album.
Teacher being the standout. Love watching Ian Anderson perform, captivating. A #3 in the U.K. and a #11 here,
beginning their ascension. This is the first album to include keyboardist John Evan and the last for bassist Glenn
Cornick who was replaced by Jeffrey Hamond. Much respect for any Tull members, but without Ian they just wouldn't
be. Sort of like Alice Cooper without Alice Cooper.

I LOVE THIS ALBUM

Worst Track - Play In Time

Best Track - Teacher

Well the dawn was coming,
heard him ringing on my bell.
He said, ``My name's the teacher,
that is what I call myself.
And I have a lesson
that I must impart to you.
It's an old expression
but I must insist it's true.

Jump up, look around,
find yourself some fun,
no sense in sitting there hating everyone.
No man's an island and his castle isn't home,
the nest is full of nothing when the bird has flown.''

So I took a journey,
threw my world into the sea.
With me went the teacher
who found fun instead of me.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind.

Then the teacher told me
it had been a lot of fun.
Thanked me for his ticket
and all that I had done.

Hey man, what's the plan, what was that you said?
Sun-tanned, drink in hand, lying there in bed.
I try to socialize but I can't seem to find
what I was looking for, got something on my mind.
