Behind the the times

Mary and I went to Ipswich last night to see Jethro Tull in concert. This is the fourth time I have seen them live, and I did notice that members of the audience seemed a little older than the last time I saw them in 1978! They are outstanding musicians - Martin Barre is THE guitarist's guitarist - and the inclusion of a young American violinist, Lucia Micarelli, brought another dimension to the concert. I have never understood why Jethro Tull are so much less popular here than they are in many parts of the world.

The weather, like my musical taste, is still very much behind the times (roughly six weeks, we are told). Today I saw the first sign that maybe the daffodils in our garden will not wait too much longer to come into flower.
