Let me join in and say thanks to Pat and to the JT board for setting these Q&As up. Jeffrey was mine and my brother's hero when we were kids. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Tull convention in Italy in 2008. Such a delightful, sweet person. (Didn't seem reclusive at all.. on the contrary, very warm and welcoming.)
Anyway, great questions, great answers!
I only wish there was a forum like this when I was a full blown Tull freak back in the 70s. I'd have probably spent 24x7 on it! :-)

All the best,
Marcie

With Marcie's permission I have uploaded a photo of her and Jeffrey taken at the Italian Tull Convention .

In Marcie's own words;

"A cherished moment for me at the convention. Posing with Jeffrey Hammond (Hammond), Tull's second bassist, who was a very powerful, creative force during his tenure in the band. When he was invited on stage to chat to the audience before an incredible performance of Thick As A Brick, all he said was: "Thanks for remembering me." It was a very moving moment for all of us."

Thanks Marcie for the photo and your appreciative response to the Q&A.

That's a great picture and story. I got chills reading it, thinking how much these guys have meant to all of us. Thanks for sharing.

A pleasure Paul, and thanks for posting the pic, Pat.

I fondly recall bits of a conversation where he was telling Paul and I (thinking we didn't know) that he doesn't play music anymore, just paints, and we said that we knew that whereupon he exclaimed: "hey you guys know more about me than I do!" LOL Nice memories. :-)

Just noticed that Jeffrey had answered the questions. Great read and wonderful to hear from my favourite Tull-member.
